When he was my jazz harmony professor in college, he would always challenge the class to use cutting edge compositional techniques; these days, if I'm stuck in a rut with my musicianship, I'll go to him for insights that keep me inspired and focused for months; in his own journey, Bob has set his sights higher than the mathematics of musical composition or the fine-tuning of musical performances: he has completed his PhD focusing on the correlation between creativity and overall human wellbeing and he is currently writing a book on the same subject. -
The F Bass is the bass player's bass player's bass guitar. Today's guest, George Furlanetto, started the company when he built his first electric bass in 1978.

Remaining open to feedback from some of the world's most innovative high-level players has been the catalyst for the incremental improvements that have Made F Bass one of the most respected instrument manufacturers in the world.
In this episode, we talk about learning to build through experimentation, growing the company, George's scientific approach to consistent improvement and his reluctant discovery of the secret to running a successful business. -
