Basses

My first bass, affectionately named by the guitarist in my country band for it's chocolatey color. Punchy sound and a thin neck make it fun to play.​

A single pickup neck-through with koa and maple neck and an ebony fretboard.

The second "Fastback", in British racing green with a rosewood fretboard.

The Grinder is a bougy "hippie sandwich" bass with my new bridge and string ferrules, custom 14V electronics, and some really pretty wood. Gobs of sustain, surprisingly resonant, perfect intonation, super flexible electronics. A dream to play, but without a doubt one of the coolest features is the string ferrules!

A heavy neck through in ash, maple, and mahogany. This bass has huge sustain and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard. It gets a lot of use in day-to-day testing of pickups and electronics.

Called a "Fastback" to honor the Seattle band of it's owner, this is a small PJ with traditional elements of both.

The third and final "Fastback", built for Wally Barnum. It has a thick cocobolo top, ebony fretboard, weight-relieved body, and black burst nitro finish.
