Sam plays on custom-made electric basses crafted by Les Godfrey of Godfrey Guitars in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, ensuring that his instruments are as distinctive as his sound.

The "Dragonetti Soloist" was designed for great balance and ease of playability. A truly unique instrument in its own right, each instrument is entirely hand carved with an acute attention to detail.

The "Dragonetti Soloist" is a merging of Les Godfreys "Dragonetti" designs" and Sam DeRose Jr's needs for a more playable bass that would facilitate velocity, intonation and unrestricted playing of every note on the neck.

The "Dragonetti Soloist" comes as a hollow body and is hand carved to order. The bass comes in fretted and fretless, neck through designs feature a 30.5 inch three octave neck with 36 frets, locking tuners, active pickups, tremolo bass bridge and traditional scroll headstock.

Les built three bass’s for Sam, click to view the custom builds. "The Frangipani" that was the first build and proto-type,
"The Toro" which is a fretless bass, and "The Scuzzuni" which features real pearl, abalone and sterling silver inlays.
