Earlier this year, bass master Freekbass was approached by Stonefield Music Instrument Company about creating a Signature Bass model. Elated, Freekbass didn’t want to just promote the new instrument, he wanted to go all out.
He tells us the story, saying: “When Stonefield Musical Instruments approached me about doing a Freekbass Signature Model we wanted to do something a little different from the normal demo videos you see with new instruments. Both Tomm [Stanley, owner/head luthier at Stonefield] and myself are big comic book and science fiction geeks, so we came up with this concept, along with filmmaker Richard Bell, to take the bass to a galaxy far, far away.”
The result is Looking For The Bassmaker, a short film that sees Freekbass embark on a quest for the perfect instrument. “Filming this SciFunk mini-movie in New Zealand was so surreal and so inspiring,” he tells us.
We’re delighted to premiere Looking For The Bassmaker here! Check out the new video, streaming below.
