owner, Barker Musical Instruments, maker of the Barker Bass, No Longer In Production.
Several attempts at arranged marriages have been mediocre at best, but this one is worth immortalizing with a name badge.

Up top is a Hartke HA5000 with that lovely pair of blendable preamps and enough horsepower to relocate small to medium buildings.

The substructure is a Carvin Cyclops--115,208 plus the red tweeter. Moves so much air you need an HVAC license to open it up.

Choices: Harvin, CarHart (shown) plus maybe Cartke or kevin?

Of these, I like Invert Chakra and Vicar Thanker
 
How about calling it the Harvin Barkmaster Jr.? An homage to Carvin and Hartke and Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling's Jokemaster Jr.?

Wow. This poster in particular is just down right scary. I see you haven't re-filled that OCD prescription yet.
 
It's a little hard to see in this image, but there is already a HYBRID nameplate in the lower right corner under the grille.
