"I want one of those!"

How much does a Lospennato handmade bass cost?

The basis price for a custom made instrument starts normally at 4,000 euro, including case and shipping within Europe or the U.S.

How much will it take to build my bass?

Depending on the waiting list, the current waiting time is 3 months. This is strongly influenced by the finishing method of your choice: our professional polyester finishing process alone takes up to 45 days. A more natural, oil finishing would strongly shorten the waiting time.

How can I order my new bass?

Just tell me what's on your mind. Which model do you like? What kind of sound are you looking for?

Write me an email or call me (see contact info below).

How can I pay?

You can use practically any kind of payment:

• Bank transfer (is the most secure, and mostly free of banking charges within Europe).
• PayPal, which is of course very practical, and is immediate. PayPal fees are not charged on the customer.
• Wire transfer (Western Union, MoneyGram, etc): Please contact us before paying this way. We rather disincourage the use of these methods. We will accept them only in exceptional cases.

A 50% up front payment is required to begin the construction of your new bass. The rest will be paid upon completion and right before shipping.

Is there a warranty policy?

Our instruments are guaranteed against all construction defects. Damages resulting from improper use are not covered. Until now, I never had a customer sending me an instrument back.

Where are this instruments made? By whom?

My small (but charming) workshop is located in Berlin, Germany. You can arrange a visit, I will be glad to receive you. There is always a cold Coke in the fridge and hot coffee in the pot. About me? Check my bio.

Can I customize in my guitar or bass?

You must! You are an active part of the design. You can choose:

• Painting method and design
• Pickups
• Active or passive circuits
• Profile of the neck (default: standard; other available: RSV, V, U, etc)
• Type of tuners you like
  
• Shape of the headstock and body. Yes, you read it correctly.
• Number of frets (21, 22, or 24)
• Color of frets (silver or gold)
• Size of the fretwire (jumbo, standard, etc)
• Color the hardware (chrome, gold, or black).
• Inlay: dots, ellipses, stars, sharkteeth... mother of pearl, vinyl, abalone... etc etc.

That seems to be too much? Don´t worry, we will work the options out together to define the guitar of your dreams.

You cannot change the following:

• We do not offer nitrocellulose finishing, for environmental reasons.
• Binding: we do not offer binding, because of the shape of the bodies has rounded edges.
