The Green Man

$2,889.00

On April 14th, 2010 the world lost a true legend. Thomas Ratajczyk, aka Lord Petrus Steele, aka Peter Steele, was the songwriter, singer and bassist of Type O Negative.

Formed in Brooklyn in 1989, Type O Negative became a leading force in the music world. Their lyrics, covering topics of love, romance and death, quickly brought them their nickname "The Drab Four", in homage to the Beatles "Fab Four" moniker.

With hit singles like Christian Woman, Black No.1, My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend, Cinnamon Girl, and legendary albums like Bloody Kisses and October Rust, Peter Steele and his bandmates in Type O Negative quickly drew worldwide attention and a massive fanbase.

During the height of their success in the middle of the 90s, Peter Steele was using a custom made Esh Stinger bass, which became his trademark for quite some time.

After months of meticulous work, the artisans at Esh Basses are now able to present a more than fitting tribute to the great Peter Steele. The result is the Esh "The Green Man" Stinger. A homage to one of the greatest musicians of our time.

The first 100 instruments come with a signed and hand-numbered art print by artist Sara Ray.

Rest in Power, Peter Steele

I just scrolled further and see someone asked the same question if it's available for a lefty. Now I'm just wondering how that can be ordered?

When place in cart there is no option nor a space for special instructions. How would I go about ordering a lefty version?

Jan Kyncl

Hello Scott,

good point, we have to add this option to this product.

If you are really interested, please, contact me via email jan.kyncl@esh-bass.com

We can discuss this further.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Hi, I live in California. I saw that you mentioned you have a warehouse in California. If I purchase this bass, approximately how long would shipping take?

Jan Kyncl

Hello Jerry, we don't have any Tributes in our California warehouse (only 2pcs damaged on the bottom of the body - with discount), but the shipment of new Tributes is scheduled for June. If they are in stock in the US, shipping will take a maximum of a week I would say.

You can contact me via email: jan.kyncl@esh-bass.com

Thank you for your inquiry.

Is this available for a lefty?

Jan Kyncl

I replied above, sorry for the delay.

I'm from Mexico, what is the price of the low from green man to Mexican pesos?

Jan Kyncl

It will be about 49000 pesos according to the course.

I'm considering purchasing this bass.  Does all the profit go to Esh or does some of it all go to Peter's family and/or bandmates?
