PHD SKUNKWORKS

I had these plans for this layin around for 2yrs and found them and gave um to Brian and he jumped all over it.


7'0'' long 14.50 wide # 2 galvanized bucket. Bass strings are weedwhacker kevlar center rockabilly slappers.


Hardrock maple neck hand shaped by Hilbers.



Brian made every part by hand the tail piece , bridge, neck. by the time I got over to Brian's today his brother Jeff and him hand blood blisters from playin it! Brian's been a punk bass player for many years , and Jeff is a amazing guitar builder him self, fun project!
