Barker
Musical Instruments has just released a limited edition
of four signed and numbered basses to commemorate the
two year anniversary of launching the Barker Bass
into the music instrument market.
Lee created
the line from wood that he purchased from a local
wood recycler. The recycler often stopped by Lee's
with a piece of wood that he couldn't identify. On
this visit, the piece of weathered wood he had was
one of several staves of barrels used for soaking
cherries in the Willamette Valley. When Lee cut into
the douglas fir board he found bright pink veins
of color left by cherry juice wicking into the wood.
He bought it all.
There
was just enough wood to craft four instruments.
The
Commemorative Barker Basses start at $5000. For
