Built by one craftsman. Trusted by professionals. Defined by authorship.

New York Bass Works exists for musicians who require absolute confidence in their instrument.

Every bass is built start to finish by the company’s founder and sole craftsman, ensuring complete continuity between design and execution. This level of authorship—defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act of creating a work; the state or fact of being the creator of a work”—ensures that every instrument reflects a single, uncompromising standard.

​

These instruments are relied upon in consequential professional environments, including performances with Smokey Robinson, The Yellowjackets, Jill Scott, and in orchestras on Broadway.

New York Bass Works remains intentionally small.
This ensures that every instrument meets the same uncompromising standard—without exception.

Authority cannot be scaled.
It can only be maintained.
