BFR Torture 3-7-07

[Psycho Ward]

Well, if there were ever an accidental lefty made, I think I know where it could find a nice home.

Leftys are no accident. It takes about 9 average righties to get the coveted and supremely talented Lefties

 

[Psycho Ward]

supremely talented Lefties

... Crap! That leaves me out!

It is not something you can preorder(with the exception of the JP F-1)

Ah, okay, now I realize where my confusion comes from. I recall skimming some threads about preordering the JP F-1 and wondering how it would work...given previous statements that BFRs are what the Ball family decides they are, no choices available, luck of the draw.

No preorders makes much more sense to me. To be able to see the exact instrument is perfect.

It's very different with regular stock. There are so many options that it's entirely possible a real live example of an instrument you're interested in may not actually exist in the wild, so you have to order "blind."

Holy freakin' God!!! Those are sooo pretty. The tobaccoburst is my favorite of the two, but they are both absolutely stunning.

 

[tiffles]

wow that tobacco burst is .... HOT.

 

[OnlyMe]

Absolutely jaw-dropping

Congrats to everyone at SLO! These BFR's you're making are no less than real jewels!

That tabaccoburst really knocked my socks off

 

[stretch80]

They are both beautiful.

The tobacco burst might just be the prettiest bass I've ever seen.

And as a HS SR5, its probably the best sounding bass I haven't heard yet.

Congratulations to the EBMM builders, and to whoever is lucky enough to get one.
(won't be me, but shed no tears, I've got a killer Sr5!!)

THe BFR's are more expensive. They arent for everyone. For example the 10 piece run of the BFR SR5 30th Bahama Blueburst with the eboony and the 20 year old first ten digit serial numbers retail for $7,500. Four international...( waiting for Beth to announce)

And the winners of the drawing were...


.....drum roll....


Kanda Shokai - Japan
Strings and Things - UK
Musik Meyer GmbH - Germany/Austria
Mogar Music - Italy

But don't you people think you're going to be able to pry any of these 4 out of their cold dead hands.. I know one of them is destined for a museum.

 

[EBMM7181]

those BFR's are mind-blowing.

Do you see these, Stank?????? =)

 

[RitchieDarling]

We brought this piece up to our friends in Oregon to show them some of the cool stuff the team has been working on. It's an ash body, mahog block, koa body and neck, ebony board, pearl dots, and natural finish. I have another one I'll be posting later today that is my favorite.

DAY-UM!


What can I sell?

Hmmm.......

Beth, you spelled Australia wrong....

 

[Big Poppa]

no she spelled it right..she is just doing her part in making sure the chip stays on the shoulder

 

[ekb16b]

wow.. you guys have outdone yourselves once again

 

[Jim_F]

MMMmmm - stunning basses -
that tobacco burst is absolutely gorgeous.

Congrats to Dargin, BP and the rest of the team ...

Now all I need to do is win the Lottery tomorrow night ...
