I never did until I heard Les Claypool playing one in his Duo de Twang. :)

No, Bryan Kehoe.

I've posted this here before:

But I could never make a resonator sound like that. :D

Haha, not how I'd play it but it does sound really cool.

I wonder what band of resonator bass claypool has?

Les had a modded Michael Kelly Resonator Bass a while back. It was a black one. They were RARE and short in production and only handful made. Not sure what he is playing now..... his fingers and playing helps :lol:

For being a POS Resonator Dobro its actually not a POS and seller made it worth my while taking the drive out. It is a Johnson JR440ES acoustic/electric resonator. It looks identical to the Regal RD-05. I spent a few hours yesterday working on it modding the nut to my specs. It's a cool little bass and is LOUD acoustically. No volume or controls but a piezo (just plug and play).

I did cover up the Johnson logo on the headstock... Just another toy!!
