That's awesome Fix, these are the things I like to hear. If we can cultivate the young ones to carry on the tradition, and keep the arts going, we may stand a chance in this world.
Good job bro!

Thanks man!
Oh... that reminds me... she's quite remarkable with paints and pencils as well! 2 years ago, her school was auctioning off paintings the kids had done, as a fund raiser. Her painting actually prompted a bidding war that closed at $240.00... a school record! The kid's an enigma!

I've wondered about those colored strings? Are they coated with something, or made of some non-metal substance, or what?

 

[theFixer]

I had a set of the peacock blue DR's sitting around so had them installed on my black Hamer FBIV when I took it in for a setup. Looks better in person but really stands out.

Had to zoom in to make sure that bridge was stock! That's a right beefy string holder!

They sound like DR Highbeams that are broken in. Less "zingy".

Schaller roller bridge branded as Hamer. Great bridges!! Also, for a player with large hands, these necks are perfect! Just difficult to find.

It's a Schaller 3D with the Hammer stamp on it. These are great totally adjustable well designed bridges, again, first made in the early 80's and still around today.

Hah! (Nocturnal) great minds think alike.

Interesting. I was wondering if there were any tonal ramifications. I suppose, depending on your sound, that a little less "zing" isn't necessarily bad. It's a cool option to have!

BTW... after watching your band play "She Sells Sanctuary"... I was stricken by a vision. A vision in which order was restored to the Earth buy your hand, and the hands of your fellow band mates. Your band must perform Montrose's "Bad Motor Scooter" in order to save us all from certain doom!

Hate to say it, you're all doomed.
Not that I don't like that song, it's just not one we would play - Not a dance song, and too dated for our audience.

Mark.....

Don't you have one of these BC Rich TBirds?

Jon, I wish!

Nearest I have is a Jackson TBX.

Oh man dont you love that hysteria you feel when you make any single alteration to your basses electronics and you start dialing in these friggin' furious bastard loads of face melting jack hammering foundation smashing heapings of clear and vintage sounding bluesy metal tones played in the aura of 70's European Progressive Rock fused with some Doom?. Noodled for an hour and a half. Probably the one closest thing Ive done in a while resembling exercise......Damn!.

That was kinda how it was when I got the series mod done on my T-bird. Turned it into a ferocious beast.

All ready to play some Type O Negative tunes, I see.

 

[mc2ny]

For some reason I thought you had one. I know there aren't many of them.
This one is from 1987/88. I missed it around four or five years ago and it went to Europe but found its way to me a couple weeks ago by fate.

Incredibly clean bass for having survived its two original owners, both in thrash metal bands with over 20 albums out.....Death Angel and Exodus.

LOVE the color and wood.

Did B.C. Rich do many of these airbrushed logos?

Well... I'm sure you would rock it if you did

Ya know... I also had a vision of a donkey smoking' a cigar, drinkin' a beer, & pushin' a lawn mower. I can't really trust those things...

My bloke cat gets a bit anxious on the subject of nuts. Best leave it there.

If I was him, and a cat in modern times, I would be a bit anxious as well. If it wasn't already too late.

Holy CRAP!!! That thing is BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

[TBird1958]

The headstock on that bass is beyond bada$$
One other guy here has one, in gray tones IIRC, honestly I don't know too much about them. That one is way cool! Congratulations!
