EXTREME Custom BASS & GUITAR Design "If you love indistinct vague low notes of questionable origin, a sound as aggressive as a mouse at a cat convention, string taughtness that rivals jello, sustain that rivals a teenage boy's first sexual encounter with a swimsuit supermodel, and the fine intonation adjustment of a lump of molten slag, then the BUTCHER is NOT for You!" ... Want a sound with some MEAT to it ? then..."GET BUTCHER'd... & knock the cocktail glasses clean off the shelves at the Ramada Inn Lounge." in other words, get Tone with more Character. If you don't believe it, rent it. I'll pay half shipping. NOW order from BUTCHERs MENU (SEE THE BLOG ABOVE) wysiwyg http://butcherguitars.blogspot.com/ www.butcherbassnguitar.com

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/14/2005
Band Website: myspace.com/phatlung
Band Members: poetry by Dick Dickie "the Space Captain" of Portland Or.
Influences: *SIDE NOTE's: *A Luthier (Loo-tee-er). One who makes or repairs stringed instruments. *My last name (by coincidence I swear) Mesecher derived from the name Metzger, which in German means "a Butcher." I love to make instruments that have full bodied rich tone, I call; MEAT ! * PICKUPS * Let's face it, a pickup by itself has no sound, its one of many links in a chain, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This can be the player, the guitar, the strings, the bar, the pickup, the cable, the amp, the speaker and when worst comes to worst, all of them! the GOLD FINGER check my pics for new instruments every week !!! BRASS hardware: Unfortunately not many Bass or guitars use brass anymore, but why brass? - What are brass instruments made from; such as Trumpets, Trombones, tubas, saxaphone...? Not aluminum or POT metal. Brass presents a much more loud, sustaining & pleasing TONE then any other metal and thats just another reason to get BUTCHERed. See the new movie; FRESH MEAT whats the first musical instrument invented in America? the Cigar box guitar. ever thought about trying one? go here
Sounds Like: my newest gig does covers by these artists; Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Audio slave, Wilco , doobie brothers, Ben Harper , steve winwood, Garbage , Roy Orbinson, bob marley, maxi priest, Wild Cherry, Junior Brown, The Police, waterboys , and more... band site; http://www.myspace.com/phatlung
