No basses in the mix, but these guitars are just from another epoch! Great story behind the builder, and check out the old lefty Danelectro he's holding on his "About" page...

Very interesting. Looks like something out of a Jules Verne novel. But what do they sound like? BTW, there is 1 bass up there.

Thanks guys for pointing out the Sparkycaster. It was late last night when I was looking at the pics, and missed that one. Considering he takes garage sale and low budget basses to convert, I would expect the sound to not change much beyond their original sound. Would like to hear and mp3 though... and would dig playing one in a show sometime! :ugeek:
