This is a commission for Benjamin Ensor of the band Mungus:

[link]

Its been such a pleasure working him on this project. He asked me to create a Jules Verne inspired clockwork Lovecraftian beast... and other than that for a theme, he gave me permission to do whatever I wanted... so here it is, 16 inch tentacles and all! XD


not sure what else to say... oh yeah, before anyone freaks out about it, the tentacles don't interfere with the strings, I just posed them there for these pictures. The metal work also isn't as heavy as it looks.

The Elder Bass Guitar by *porkshanks. The suggester wrote, "We have seen many mods or global guitar or bass guitar modification, but this really is a masterpiece. The materials used, all the fine details, and the overall shape are just perfect. I'd give much to be able to play on such a unique bass guitar!"

Someday, when I'm rich and famous and my band has made it big, I'm going to commission you, and it'll be awesome.

This is amazing!

I'm not sure how I feel.... It's so awesome but... how well can it really play??? I was more worried the tentacles might get in the way of playing. Is there a video somewhere of it being played? that would be so amazing... It's a stellar look!
