Solace instruments started with two interests 'colliding', music and wood. I've always played and this interest lead me to building several bass guitars over time, first while I was in 5th Form at school, the second a good 15 years later. Stomp boxes followed, then guitars, basses and a couple of hand-made amps.
Most of the wood used is NZ recycled native timber such as Rimu, Matai and Rewarewa. Most of it comes from Marlborough and is a fitting end to an old house, bach or carport that once held a roof over our heads.
