As I write this he is leaving for Tokyo first. I'm hoping he'll slow down enough to post something here occasionally.

In response to what lee stated above. Yes the band is gearing up for a small international tour. But what I really want to stress is how the bass has held up so far. The bass on the road in the back of our for econoline vanm has held up so well! Even in the gig bag! The Barker Bass is definatley a bass that looks elegant sleek. But it is very tough as well. Our band has traveled through many different climates with sudden humidity changes, and the bass has had zero problems. It has held its superb action and tonal quality through it all.as we all know (or at least everyone should) the barker is a head turner in itself. So showing up to gigs and watching people become curious its a hoot.explaining the barker and answering questions is definatley one of my favorite parts of the tour.

If anyone has any questions about the barker in any reguard I would be happy to answer them!

Will
