With a name like Evilectric, you might guess that the company makes some gnarly looking basses. You\u2019d be right.<\/p>\n

\"Evilectric<\/p>\n

Evilectric builds full 41 3\/4-inch scale electric upright basses with custom designs. Only three have been made so far, and this week we\u2019re checking out the Skull bass. The body is a skull and cross bones with the bridge sitting right between the eyes. Luthier Mike Jackson gave us the rundown.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It has a] Maple neck, Hipshot tuners, Schaller pickups, Eurosonic strings, a hand made aluminum tailpiece, bridge, and nut,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe make custom tops in any design, and they can play like an upright in a jazz band or play like a p-bass in a speed metal band!\u201d<\/p>\n
