The Recycled Resonator Guitars |
I have made a few electric basses in a few different configurations. The latest is a four course frettless electric with octave strings on the top two courses. The pickups are Bartolini's, the neck is maple and cooktown ironwood, the body is blackwood with silky oak sides. The nut and bridge are brass. Scale length is 32". This is for sale at the moment so feel free to make a bid.
There are another three:
This fretless five string which awaits some last minute details and buffing, has Silky Oak sides, an Ooline fretboard and EMG soapbar pickups I scored from the lovely folk at Frank Foredom music.
A fretted four string with a hipshot whammy bar still needs some adjustments to the body, frets, more paint, and setup. The fretboard is Ooline, the sides Silky Oak and it has a Wilkinson bridge pickup and the neck one is a Bartolini soapbar.
this is looking from the back at the bottom. The third will be a 5 string fretless and has Red Forest Oak sides, which are incredibly beautiful, and a fretboard of Cooktown Ironwood. It needs painting, setup and pickups.
Look out Les Claypool here we come... They are all made with laminated through necks using moody gum (the bright yellow stuff) and NSW rosewood (red) with silky oak family (Grevillea) sides. These are all Australian timbers and are all sustainably harvested. Thanks Stan, Gummy and Andrew for these lovely pieces of wood.
