Here are the items I will be including with the bass. I think that they ought to prove provenance and are some fascinating historical artefacts in themselves. Each of the inclusions has some relationship or significance to the instrument. I’m currently going through my archives so there will be some more last minute inclusions
This one is for LA at the substrate gallery
Given to me by Nonni from dead skeletons. Says. “Butterfly hoovering over the abyss”
