The Bell & Hern Customs Elwood Francis Signature Bass isn’t just an instrument—it’s a piece of rock 'n' roll royalty. Originally custom-forged for the legendary Elwood Francis of ZZ Top, this bass is a high-performance masterpiece designed to deliver that iconic "Little Ol' Band from Texas" low-end growl. Every inch of this build screams premium, from the Arizona sparkle finish to the final professional assembly in Southern California. Weighing in at a perfectly balanced 8.49 pounds, it features a 1.58" nut and is decked out with the world's best Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners and a top-tier Kluson bridge and saddle setup. Armed with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pickup, this bass delivers a massive, high-output attack that is quite literally beyond words.


The aesthetic is as sharp as the tone, featuring two custom-ordered "Cats Eyes" control knobs and a bespoke hardshell case to protect your investment. This isn't just a production model; it’s a boutique-level weapon with "smooth and silky" playability that feels exactly like you like it. Whether you’re commanding an arena stage or a high-end studio session, this signature bass offers a level of presence that is impossible to ignore. While this specific unit is a certified showstopper, we have more in the fire and are ready to take your special orders to get this legendary ZZ Top power into your hands.
