That photo of Bodega brings back memories.
We miss Bodega Dearly...
Definitely “the one that got away”.
We dream of reuniting with that bass one day. ;-)
Surprisingly, the LAST “Easter Egg” we thought anyone would catch was the FIRST one anyone noticed (though it would have been a one-in-a-million chance to actually guess the full significance).
•The Leather Jacket was gifted to us by Carl Thompson when Chris and I were frequently visiting his Brooklyn shop (Chris was apprenticing him and I got to spend time listening to his incredible stories).
It is the one he wore when taking pictures for the “Ten Million Dollar Bass”.
One day he just said, “Try this on”.
Chris did, and though it was somewhat too big for him, Carl said something to the effect that it fit Chris better than him, and that we should just have it.
•Yes, the Jazz Bass is wired in stereo.
The Bisonic has Volume and Tone.
The Bridge pickup goes straight to an independent output jack.
In Chris’s words, “That bass is a strange beast, and nothing sounds quite like it.”
I’m sure a few super sleuths could pick out the few remaining gems or oddities.
Thanks for the interest!
Warmly,
Jen T.
