| Trashcanjo |
|---|
|
Here's the one that started it all. It's a 4-string banjo constructed by Cap'n James Cook from the bottom and lid from a 10-gallon trashcan.

| Trashcan Bass |
|---|
|
Also built by Capt. Cook, the Trashcan Bass is exactly what it appears to be: a stick, a can, and a string. The one pictured is the 20-gallon model. The string is a D string from a double bass tuned down to E. Can it really be that loud? Yes. When we mic it, we always place the mic outside the can; never inside. If you don't see a microphone, then it's not amplified.

| Zob Stick |
|---|
|
Built by TJoe Emeritus Ben Bonham, the Zob Stick is the World's Most Dangerous Musical Instrument. Sure, Jason tosses it around onstage like it's no big deal, but he's a skilled professional. Seriously, stay away from it; it'll mess you up. It's a bunch of bottle caps nailed to a stick with a boot on the end. The edges of the bottle caps are sharp and sometimes the nail points stick out. It should probably be called the “Tetanus Stick”.

| Can O' P.A. |
|---|
|
We use the Can O' PA for more intimate gigs when we just need to boost the vocals. Runs on Trash-Fusion™, so we don't have to be near an electical outlet. This allows us greater portability, which is handy since we're always one step ahead of the fuzz.

| Ford Tuborgan |
|---|
|
The Cap'n pronounces it ford tubORGan, as if it had been named by the Swedish Chef. It's a pump organ housed inside a big washtub. The collapsible legs with wheels make it ridiculously portable. Stays in tune and turns on a dime.
