The Shovel Bass breaks down into Metal Fragments and Wood.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
In Rust, Shovel Bass is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #-2107018088, console shortname fun.bass). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Use this stringed together shovel to play some deep, deep tunes.
Crafting Shovel Bass in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Shovel Bass against related fun in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.

The Shovel Bass comes with the Instrument Pack DLC in Rust. It is crafted by hand from 50 Wood and 75 Metal Fragments. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.
The Shovel Bass recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more and 25 Wood. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The Shovel Bass takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Fun category under numeric ID -2107018088 across 63 fun and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
The Shovel Bass blueprint comes with the Instrument Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it in Rust. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table. It sits in the Fun catalog with item ID -2107018088 alongside 62 related fun.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Shovel Bass despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Shovel Bass has 32-bit signed item ID -2107018088 and shortname fun.bass in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Fun category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Shovel Bass in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give fun.bass 1 or inventory.giveid -2107018088 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
