UFO-Bass
A fun commission - anything goes, with a Sci-Fi theme. Bassist Norbert Zucker sent me a little green man and asked me to design something wild. The result is the UFO-Bass. The body and neck are Padouk, with a Redwood Burl top on the body. A polished aluminum handle/strap holder and aluminum control plate complete the design. The armrest contains the "capsule" for the alien traveller, set in resin. The combination of a Hipshot Bass Tremolo with the Sustainiac make for some otherworldly sounds.

On a more traditional note... Swamp Ash body, Maple neck with block inlays and Lindy Fralin Jazz Bass pickups. The finish inspired the name ('Wizard of Oz').

Taking the S&S concept as a starting point I used the Warmoth Bocote neck producer Rob Schnapf brought me and made a PJ with a fiddleback Ash top. Due to the heavy neck and light body this bass is a bit neck-heavy...
