Custom P-Style 51 Bass

dscf8643 Inspired by a 1951 Fender P Bass this little beaut was crafted from scratch using a body made from wood found on the side of the road in council cleanup. Sporting all handmade brass hardware to the exact specifications of the original, it has a maple neck, Pao Ferro fretboard, vintage style machine heads and a Seymour Duncan 51′ Reissue pickup. Absolutely awesome recording bass, manages to really accentuate the midrange register giving a nice bright sound but with a deep boomy undercurrent.

stringgoo2 Uncle John’s Famous String Goo

The Goo with a gazillion uses! It’s a string preserver, string and hardware lubricant and polish for your acoustic or electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, bozouki, sitar… WHATEVER!!!

It works by neutralising the corrosive, alkaline solution that is human sweat. As it does this it also coats the string protecting it from the harmful effects of oxidisation.

And this stuff actually works. It makes strings last up to 4 times longer.

RRP $25.00

“Charlie Christian” Style Acoustic Pickups

dscf8351 We Love sound hole pick ups! I personally believe the LR Baggs M1 to be one of the most brilliant pieces of acoustic amplification technology to come out in the last 20 years. Our vintage parlor guitars however are a little different in their requirements. For one, many have sound holes that are too small to accommodate the commercially made products. Secondly, even when they can be fitted they tend to take away the antique vibe and look of the guitar. So we thought it best to come up with our own. This pick up has six calibrated pole pieces for even response, can be used with or with out an acoustic preamp and is compatible with our custom made piezo pick ups. RRP 175.00

Custom Straps from Ireland

Aren’t they BOOODiful?! These hand crafted straps are the result of the many hours put into them by there maker John Regan. John is a very colourful character to say the least. Born in Galway, he immigrated to Australia where he made a success of himself as an actor (both stage and screen), the leader of legendary 60’s and 70’s rock band “Regan’s Rebels and proud father of one Scotty Regan of Brisbane musical institution “The Gin Club”. John returned to Galway a few years ago for the quiet life, however as you can see idleness is not something that comes naturally to him. Straps start at 125.00 with custom orders also available.
