Wreck-n-Roll Custom Instruments

Ezra Daly built the first motorcycle bass, the Frankenbass, out of necessity in 1996. This Moto-Guzzi bass was performed with Santa Cruz bands Buddys Riot and the Lee Maverick Band. Other electric basses built over the following decade have appeared throughout California with Green Means Go, the Hellbillys, the NickelAliens as well as the Woodbox Gang in Illinois. As these instruments gained popularity, Ezra formed Wreck-n-Roll Custom Instruments (www.wrecknroll.com) which provides both motorcycle instruments as well as music from the bands who play them.
