Uncle Les’s DIY Bass

04:02 AM, Saturday 2/7/09 2 |   |

Les Claypool has unveiled his contribution to the fund-raising effort for the Phoenix Guitar Gala & Carnaval – a custom-made bass guitar befitting the quirky musician and his “psychedelic polka” style.

Artists, musicians and entertainment legends including George Lucas, Devo, Seth Green, Stan Lee and John Lasseter have designed and/or autographed 20 guitars to support The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, Calif.

The guitars will be auctioned Feb. 28 at the venue, with the event broadcast live via the Internet.

In keeping with the unique sense of humor that has earned Primus legions of loyal followers, Claypool has created an autographed bass engraved with instruction on how to play bass like, well, Les Claypool.

The instrument will be on display at Starstruck Gallery in downtown Petaluma until the evening of the auction.

Complete info on placing bids and other events taking place at the gala is available at PhoenixGuitarGala.com.
