BCR Greg Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 2 and a half years after the genesis of this idea, our buddy Jim has the ultimate tribute to his father..... This has been a real endeavor, but the result is phenomenal. Congrats, Jim, Dad's gotta be loving this.
specialk Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Nice truck!Seriously, a great bass and a fantastic tribute to your Dad. Congrats.
HSB0531 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 HOLYFRIGGIN CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1Yeah, I kept talking about it, probably since 2004.I Purposely walked into BCR on July 28 2008 (my Dad's birthday), and made the commitment. Almost exactly 1-1/2 years later it arrives.My guitar player asked me last night why I drove all the way to Lemoyne PA to order this.Well, I can't see this happening from my local Big Box Music chain, now can I?Thanks Greg, you did good, you made this happen!!
marcnorth Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Sweet looking bass and great pics, congrats.I want to know how those Barts sound. Give us a report when you get your hands on it.
HSB0531 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Marc:Thanks.I'll give a Bart. report on Saturday.I only have a little Ampeg B328 combo to try it on.Won't be able to get a full report from my main rig (2-10" + 2-15" biamped) for another week or so. BTW: BCR stocks Bartolini's now.

tomteriffic Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Just plain spectacular!I didn't know they'd do owner's names under the logo anymore!
HSB0531 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks again Shark!Tom: there were several things I asked for that got nixed and luckily that was one they still did.
HSB0531 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Joe Flacco plays bass? I can't tell you how much I worried that my Dad's name would be miss-spelled.
Ranger Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 The pictures and explanation should be added to the Webster's Dictionary's definition of "cool".
gorch Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 It's a l o n g way to the top. The black transparents are really hard to be beaten. What a beauty.
tbonesullivan Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 MEIN GOTT!!! That's gotta have the strongest truss rod in the world. Just incredible. That's one heck of a tribute.
