mud bass

as in professional kitchens i don't throw anything away! i glued the pieces of precious wood left over from the construction of instruments to make a composite neck with a low, muddy and flexible sound.

recycled spruce body, japanese electronics, wilkinson railroad humbucker tuners and pickups. the tuning fork size is just shorter than the standard. there is no truss-rod, so the neck adjustments are limited, but it gains in sustain and depth, giving the mud bass a unique and unrepeatable timbre.
