I've known a lot of bassists who think they're ultimately cool because they wear their basses at knee level and can slap out a couple of Claypool riffs, but after seeing this bass that Fred Mangan built, anyone playing it truly commands respect. Fred Mangan's favorite custom-made piece is this bass guitar with the body of a decorative aluminum clock and a bridge that is a .38 handgun that points at you while you're playing.

Check out the video to hear how this bass sounds and listen to Fred explain how this bass came together so well.
