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! For playing in a seated position, the bass leans back on 2 feet.
