This week on SlapperCast we’re thrilled to introduce you to our good friend, the brilliant luthier and guitar tech Liam Leach, creator of the newest guitar and bass you’ve seen us playing recently. Both were built as part of his training at the prestigious Galloup School Of Guitar Building And Repair. Chad has been using Liam’s “Bravocado” bass exclusively since Liam gave it to him in early October, and used it during our recent recording session for “Come out Ye Black & Tans”, which we’ll be talking about next week.
