My guest this week is Nick Lloyd of Nick Lloyd basses. I recently interviewed Paul Kowert of Hawktail and Punch Brothers (see episode 228 if you missed that). Shortly after, I got an email from Nick saying he'd heard the interview and that he'd made the bass Paul talked about. We got chatting and I asked him if he'd be up for coming on the podcast to talk about that, as well as bass making in general. So, here he is!I really enjoyed this one. We talked about how Nick got into bass making, how he was inspired by Edgar Meyer and how, eventually, he wound up making a copy of Edgar's bass for Paul.There's so much cool stuff in this episode - I really hope you enjoy it.  I've also released a companion episode to this one where I chat to Paul about the process of commissioning the bass and working with Nick (episode 246). Don't forget to check that one out too.You'll find info on Nick and his basses at the Nick Lloyd Basses website Happy picking!Matt===- Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates: Instagram Facebook - Review us on Apple Podcasts
