This unique 3/4 size bass is constructed from sitka spruce reclaimed from a logging bridge support, walnut, ebonized hard maple, and a recycled steel drum. The soundboard is set into a walnut frame and finished with lacquer. The neck is all walnut and finished with a french polish. I added a carbon fiber endpin to hold it all together. Internal bracing keeps the steel drum quiet and helps the bass produce a deep boomimg sound! Click here for Detailed Pictures.
This banjo has a solid aluminum pot and a beautiful and unique fretless neck. The neck is curly maple and the finger board is curly maple, cherry and walnut. Bowties join each of the three woods and walnut dowels are used as position markers. It has an ebony nut, ebony bridge, and a hand made bronze tension hoop. A matching resonator is made from the same 3 woods and gives this banjo plenty of muscle in a jam. Click here for Detailed Pictures.

The 27 1/2 Gallon Bass!
The idea came to me in a dream at the Breaking Up Winter festival in 2011. I am not sure what prompted the vision... It could have been some combination of past experience, or possibly just sleep deprivation, musical saturation, and beer... At any rate, I constructed a 3/4 size bass from a recycled 55 gallon drum and a sitka spruce soundboard cut from reclaimed bridge timber. Walnut accents the soundboard and forms the neck and peg box. I added a carbon fiber endpin to hold it all together. The fingerboard and tailpiece are ebonized hard maple. The bass sounds great and will definitely add a bit of attitude to a band's stage presence. Check out the Photo Gallery to see additional pictures and info. Thanks to bass-man Joe Whelchel for demonstrating the bass on YouTube!
