Ordering Vadim's Custom Bass

Ordering a bass starts with a discussion (preferably by phone, but e-mail exchange is possible too). You and Vadim will discuss the appearance of your future instrument in great details, as well as the materials to be used, the quality of the sound, the kind of finish. You will also discuss the price and the timelines. The second step is filling out the order form, recording all the above specifications and details you and Vadim agreed on.

Procedures for ordering:

1. Select materials and parts for your Vadim bass.
2. Total all options and add to the base price.
3. Send a 30% deposit by check or money order payable to Vadim Rubtsov (Canada) or John Faison (US customers) along with a copy of your order form. Keep the original for your records. Once the deposit received, Vadim will begin building your instrument.
4. All instruments must be paid in full with a certified check or money order before leaving these premises. All shipping costs, insurance, etc. are the responsibility of the purchaser unless previously agreed upon by seller.
5. Each instrument is handmade to order, so please allow for a four to six month buildup time. Orders are on first come, first serve basis so build up time may be shorter when possible.
