I saw Les Claypool having a bass with a whammy bar on it. anyone know where I can find some. I have a 4 string bass.

Wrong Forum.

However: It's pretty much a custom thing. You pretty much have the option of having a bass built for you that includes one, or routing a bass you already own to fit one.

Yeah, that. I kind of failed to realize that you were asking about the whammy bar itself, instead of basses that came pre-equipped with them. My apologies.

Claypool and Wooten are known to use Kahler trems, which is a company that seems to be randomly in and out of business... currently 'in' I think!

Kahler and Hipshot are two that come to mind.

I also think this might be in the wrong forum? Its the wrong kind of Trem
