Canada means hockey. But maybe they are a
non-hockey form of body armor, wind fairings
for the grip section of his handlebars, to allow
a longer riding season in the great white north.
I have no idea what they are but he's very talented at air brushing. Hmmm hope he lives near my area. Never know when I will need some art work doing. Especially of MM instruments....
The artwork is of his Sterling, which is, according to him, the best and most comfortable bass he's ever touched. Ed is a double amputee and those are socket covers for some custom prosthetics he's having made.
We'll have to ask Ed about it, he's the expert, but apparently his "modifications" make ergonomics a bit different for him. Thus, sadly, Bongo are not workable (yes, I was sad). But the Sterling shape really works for him.
