.... I must admit, I was dead wrong when I named this
bass guitar line: Basic™ ...
When I decided to call my introductory or initial line of basses Basic™ I did not realize that many bass players would take the word ‘basic’ so seriously. For me it was just a way to differentiate these fine basses from the fancier line of instruments I’m widely know for as well all over the world.
With time I have seen many bass players opting for my higher range of basses because they thought that this Basic™ series meant... well, too 'basic'.
But don´t be fooled by the name!
Actually this bass sounds awesome, plays and performs like my higher priced instruments, but let’s say, with a more simple yet still elegant look.
We use the same quality woods, the same building process, the same components such as pickups, bridge, preamp etc... exactly like our higher line of basses. So the quality of these basses are without any doubt equal to our highest lines.
Just ask any of our proud customers who own any Basic™ bass guitar and you will see that our Basic™ is a superior quality bass guitar line.
Here is what one of my Customers, Jerzy Drozd Basic™ bass proud owner have to say about my Basic™ line of basses:
..... Let's start saying that it's the best sounding, defined and growling bass i've ever had or played in this few 7 years that i'm starting playing the bass.
The experience of Jerzy Drozd in building ERB (Extended Range Bass), can be found in the sustain and the growl of the E string: it plays wonderful and is always defined.
All the four strings plays great, especially with chords or tapping: but the pleasure that i have playing the E string pushes me to play more notes on this string instead of the other three...
Then I'm really enjoying the maple fretboard: it's very clear and brilliant with treble. It's ideal for slapping and tapping .....

And here are some comments on Basic™ line from our forum
..... like i always say...the only thing "basic" about this bass is the name!!!! .....

.....That instrument is absolutely beautiful in its' simplicity.
Amazing work, Jerzy!

As you can see Basic™ is a serious line of basses, I have thrown out the fancy woods (though I still use premium hight grade woods), the fancy inlays and some non-vital options but leaving still what really matters. They still retain the best playability, sound and performance found in an outstanding quality bass guitar.
Basic™ is a pro bass guitar that you can use for any gig or studio recording session that requires both serious and pro instrument usage.
Here is what have to say other proud owners of a Jerzy Drozd instruments:
..... Jerzy Drozd basses have giving me music with a depth that wasn't previously possible with other basses.
I feel truly honored and blessed to play Jerzy's artful creations. Big thanks to you and your team, Jerzy! .....

..." I have played bass for 46 years. During that time I have been fortunate to own many
great basses from many different builders. Approximately 1 year ago I purchased an
Excellency V based on a recommendation from another player. I have since stopped playing
all my other basses. This bass combines the great tone, versatility, playability and beauty
that I have been looking for a long time. I have used it live and in the studio where it has been
equally wonderful. It is truly a privilege to own such a fine instrument."

..... Yes, your basses are clearly a labour of love!
I have to admit that cosmetic reasons were the first attraction point for me, together with very positive reviews on the internet.
I figured that there are plenty of high quality instruments around, so I better pick one that I also visually like.
Of course there was a big risk that the sound would be disappointing or just not for me. But that is not the case at all!
I went for a rather standard model wood- and electronics-wise, and for me this was a good choice because I find it very versatile.
The basic sound is very high quality (very quiet, both good punch and sustain) and the pre-amp is very powerfull, giving a very wide range of great tones.
Even after owning the instrument for almost 1,5 years, I'm still discovering new tones to use in it! I never had that happen with another bass...
I'm basically a one-instrument man, preferring to play only one main bass and keeping the older ones just as backups, so this versatility is very important to me, as is having an instrument that inspires me and with which I can have a very personal relationship.
I have the feeling that this one will be my main bass for a very long time...
