David Minnieweather ~ luthier and bassist

[1993BigNasty]

I'm try'n to find the website and info about these basses and cant find anything any help would be great

[ChillyDog1111]

Rediculous!!!! I love it!!!

[cfclef]

@ idiots making stupid comments:

1. You cannot die of AIDS infection...it's opportunistic infections that kill.

2. Have some tact and quit making sweeping, moronic statements on a situation you know nothing about.

[downwithutube]

Those harmonics are just a singing oh so sweetly! RIP David!

[basskillaz]

i heard he died of AIDS,. anyone know if thats true?

[azfryguy]

@basskillaz I live in arizona I never knew him but was a fan but some articles over the internet say it was NOT aids

[anahowana]

@basskillaz in Talkbass a forumite said that he and his friend witnessed someone who jumped off a bridge called Freemont.they called 911, later they realised it was David Minnieweather

[metallicaledy]

I love your bass , I also love my Rick 4001 but your bass has a nice slapping sound.

[OiHereItComes]

Wow... I want to be as good as him someday!

...if only ):

[LlokLuas]

Miss you David.

[MCVixenVee]

RIP

[originalkillerguitar]

David was an astonishing talented Musician and Luthier. He is sorely missed by his friends and family. It broke my heart to see him go home so soon.

[AXL9871]

I'm assuming he died from the comments. Much respect to a very good bassist. Hope you're in a better place.

[cmidnight1]

david was a great guy, i grew up and attended church with him and his siblings.  i just recently heard the bad news. david im really gonna miss you. love always charlette

[mistresslmk123]

RIP David.  Sorry it ended the way that it did.

[jocamorrao]

how much to get one of this ?

[elder2112]

yeah comment is for funk31 or 31funk btw i can do the same on my P bass your right about the switches but hey man if they are there use them let's see what this baby can do!!

Peace man

[zzzcristi]

ba neica tare e tiganu asta m-a spart ce mai buleste basu ala cum vrea caru lui

[elder2112]

your basses look really nice but could you give a demonstration where there is not as much trebble a bass is supposed to be a bass enough with the ear splitting high end. I find it's not a good rendition of what the bass can do or sound like considering it has three pick ups and a ton of switches. Peace

[31funk]

i just read what you wrote and why would you ask suck a question actually the tone is freekin amazing considering he didnt have to change any settings to switch between playing and slapping...

who cares about switches and knobs dont mean a thing

[EsaulZED]

ohhhh yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[bassificate]

love the run for cover in the middle there.

one of my favorite chords to end on too!

8^O

[jpaulom]

very nice!

smooth touch! i like it!

how you keep your action so smooth?

best regards from brasil!

[Oswah]

Nice solo, bass and sound, the action is like too low I think.

[ivandruping]

denzel washinton on bass? jjeejeje

you are great!!!

[lkman4]

damn the action must be low as shit...just the way i like it..

[GayLuigee]

Anyone know a good beginers bass guitar??

[rolficak]

I think you should try a Yamaha BB or something like that!

[fingerboy18]

Peavey Millennium. Great bass for the money.

[Elswalbe]

this bass is much nicer... although it looks alot like a tobias.

[raulmontana13]

[BigRickSharpe]

With all due respect if anyone out there knew Charlies the Big Cat who played this screaming Les Paul Custom, man the resembilance and playing technique is uncanny, but if Mr. M is related, He does outplay Pops on a bass, that being said, if not I just enjoy this, brought back memories of a friend I'd not seen in many years don't know why! just did! You are the Man Mr. M!!!

[BigRickSharpe]

I've been Blessed too personnaly speak with Mr. M" and He is a great guy, a talent in luthering has well has playing! I only wish I could play that tigh even after over Twenty five years!lol I am not all thumbs, thats why some of us stick to fingerstyle. God bless ya Mr. M" always a pleasure to share with others regarding your super Basses!

[hawkfunk]

Nice, yeah I could see jamming with you.

[BigRickSharpe]

Hey Mr. Minneweather your pops would'nt be a Brother named Charles from Chi-town would it? a three finger styled Guitarist, if so pls give me a holla at brick7985 at msn, love that Bass, do you make lefties and are thay affordable for a blue collar Cat like myself!?

[BigRickSharpe]

Sweet riffs my man, ha, ha! I too have wanted to build basses cause I couls never afford an custom lefty, I grew up on the So side of Chitown, where you from Bro? do you know Pete Bruke Bassist n writer by any chance, anyway that Cat got me into Bass back in the Seventies, and I have'nt stopped yet!

[leavingentropia]

[RickyBassist]

This man is my new idol!

[1josecastroblunt]

Wow. I;m so glad that I found your utube address from my bass player (Dave Walmsley)myspace blog. You are an outstanding bass player. I've never met Victor Wooten, but I've been chatting with his brother Joe Wooten who happens to have his new cd out. You are like my bass player, thefunkfather too.

Peace,

Jose' Castro Blunt-Rhythm Magik Band
