So Yohann, let me get this straight - the Tom Barney prototype is a an RA5 with 18mm spacing at the bridge?

Well, if you wanna split hairs... Tom's bass will be Ash.
And the prototype is an RA but with 18 mm spacing and pearl blocks and white binding... Kinda sorta an RA.

"Kinda sorta"? Let's see...

Alder body - check
Maple neck - check
70's spacing - check
Blocks and binding - check

Smells like an RA to me... What's the deal with the 18mm spacing? There's got to be a reason...

 

[svtb15]

Some people like the 18mm.. thats all... and it has the regular size J pups instead of the long style Alleva usually has

 

[esoxhntr]

Different spacing at the nut, too?

 

[svtb15]

It is narrower.. I think it is 1-11/16 at the nut.. cant confirm.. may want to call the shop to be certain.

I said kinda sorta cause an RA with maple normally has black blocks and binding. And the reason for the 18mm spacing is simply because Tom Barney prefers it.

 

[svtb15]

For some reason the color is all off.. I have to re shoot these... just wasnt in the mood today to take pics..
But here are the two new LG5 allevas

Wow...I saw Lakewood Church in your tagline before but it didn't register to me that you were playing at THEE Lakewood Church...wow!

Yeah, I was thinking he mentioned playing in the latin group specifically?

EDIT: Just realized, Spanish, in his signature.

 

[Lichtaffen]

Kirk,
I'm sure there is a good reason for it, but why aren't the strings cut shorter? It actually looks cool though.

Congrats on the new arrivals, by the way.

 

[MikeXbass]

Yeah i play spanish service every sunday...but i sub frequently for english.. It truly is a great opportunity. (not to mention every head shot of Pastor gets that headstock we all know and love in the shot..)

It's pretty amazing that you guys do multiple services on Sunday and can fill that huge arena at each one!

 

[svtb15]

Just easier for me to change strings ...
