any Barker bass owners on this site?
i am looking into one,there are actually tons of testimonials on the TB site,as well as a Barker club. i was just wondering if anyone here has one,or checked one out before. i am really intrigued by the idea of the upright playing position,completely supported weight,and the fact that these things are supposed to sound really great,too.

Upright huh?

Mount a 1x2 that is about 4' long to the back of your 4004 and give that a try before embarking on a new venture with the Barker. I think this would be the appropriate tool to get the job done, don't you think?

Jeffrey-Bite your tongue! (although I was wondering how i might get the cii mounted via some kind of padded clamp device)
I am supposed to check one out in Portland this weekend,and will be taking my mark bass combo and the cii for comparison.
Tony-there is a website (barkerbass.com) I am mostly intrigued by the upright configuration,chambered body,and 34 inch scale.
This is a used one being sold at a substantial discount-it's on the TB classifieds if you want a peek.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Well,I'm 5'10"', my first tune I will try on the bass will be Randy newsman's "short people".
C'mon,spellcheque,Randy newsman!??

It looks like the deal has fallen through,so I won't be reporting anything anytime soon. Now,where's that drill?!
