The Red special bass
This guitar was originally the idea of Killing Joke's guitarist, Geordie Walker. He literally left a message on my answer phone saying how 'adorable' a short scale BM bass would be with one Gibson humbucker. After submitting a few designs to Brian, it was decided to keep the neck humbucker, but add a trisonic at the bridge. It's constructed from one piece of Brazillian Mahogany, and unusually, Iroko for the bolt on neck.
