Pachyderm Instruments Whamola v2.0 - 1 String Bass Thing

Whamola 2.0 features:

The wacky 1-string instrument made famous by Les Claypool and featured in the South Park theme song - THE WHAMOLA 2.0 - Now featuring an extended range with a taller peg leg, an added bridge for playing beneath it, an anodized lever, a hood ornament topper, a sleek brushed aluminum finish, and a stunning wenge hardwood fingerboard. Stage-tested on New Year’s Eve 2024!

The Whamola is a unique and unconventional bass instrument, handcrafted in Sonoma County, CA with locally and globally sourced materials. It features a single string stretched between two points across an aluminum body, over a finished hardwood finderboard, and is played by using a combination of whammy bar-style pitch bending, finger-plucking techniques and hitting the string with a stick.

The Whamola produces a distinctive, growling sound that combines elements of traditional bass tones with a wide range of pitch modulation. Its design and sound allows for expressive and experimental playing.
