OK, I sized down the pictures I took ... now to see if this shaky internet connection will allow me to post them.

Batch 1

Here we go with the Second Batch of BARC pics ....

Here is Batch # 3 ....

BARC Pics ----- Batch 4:

OK -- we're moving into the Fifth Batch of BARC pics ....

Sixth and final batch of BARC pictures..... these are from the jam session

Once again thanks to everyone who participated and made BARC II such a fun event and special thank-yous to Kira for organizing the event. We hope to see more of you at the next one ..... lots of choice Rics from every decade to check out and jam along with ! !

Fantastic pics,Rich! Also,glad Harry snapped a pic of that fab 5 stringer. And the 4000 conversion "bbqt" of Gareth's,too. Unfortunately,i was too busy running around to snap any pics,altho i did get about a minute of video of a jam.
One thing i did notice after getting to play quite a few different Ric basses,was that My Laredo,with the coil taps both engaged was getting a pretty non-4004 vintage sound-digging it! This is making me want to get the new wiring harness in the cii even more.

Thanks for all of the nice pics! I'd forgotten about the 5 and 8 string basses until now! For a small scale get together there sure was a lot going on in the short time we had together. I'm with Harry--wish we had more time to talk and play. In case anyone got the wrong impression from my attempt at humor--Gareth's bass rig sounded great. He had it set on stun, not kill. Looking forward to the next west coast gathering...

We totally winged the Ricken-Floyd jam as we had no lyrics sheets or chord charts and it was a first run through ! We played Breathe in the Air, Brain Damage-Eclipse and Money ..... probably won't get any Grammy nomination but we had some fun !

breathe is a great tune, great chords.

and that 8 string! wow! must sound fierce.

Is that 2030 wearing a custom finish? Looks great! Maybe a PW Aquaglo paint scheme?

Yup, from page 1:

On the right is Kira's 2030 refinished by PW in that awesome aquaglo scheme.

Yes, thanks, and yes. The neck is finished in ambered satin nitro.
