Custom Barker Vertical upright Bass with premium woods and passive electronics- Play It Straight.
Barker Vertical Bass - New patent pending by Barker Musical Instruments.
Playing bass in two groups means at least five hours of playing per week. I'm thankful I have that opportunity.
But in the summer of 2002 my wrists began to hurt after only an hour or so of playing. Noting the bent aspect of both wrists as I played my horizontal bass, I began to imagine an upright fretted bass and how my hand positions would be different as I played it.
I couldn't find such an instrument to suit me, so I built one.
Itís called "The Secretary" because I had a little nameplate in a drawer in the shop. And the nameplate fit perfectly on the headstock from the "donor bass".
It was a fun project. People noticed the instrument and commented. I noticed my wrists--they were no longer telling me I should give up bass playing.
After fellow musicians repeatedly told me how good "The Secretary" sounded, I made another instrument...and another....and each sounded better than the last.
Even the first serial numbered BVBs vary from one to the next as the inveterate tinkerer in me has fiddled with components, varied pickup layout and tried different wood and core combinations, always seeking perfection in sound, playability and feel. By the time #30 was built I was content with evenness of tone, the low end growl, and the overall playability of the Barker Bass.
Prior to founding the eponymous instrument company, I owned and operated Great Ned! Woodworks for 22 years. As a custom woodworker and commercial cabinetmaker I enjoyed a reputation as a careful craftsman, a creative problem solver and a community minded businessman. And, in my off hours, bassplayer in the Dry Canyon Philharmonhick.
In that group as well as a local Praise Team, I Play It Straight with a Barker Bass ...

Bruce Walker Guitars are custom hand-made guitars including: classical, steel, string, archtop and electric versions.
In 1994, I retired and subsequently moved to the beautiful Catskills at East Branch, New York. I custom build no more than 10 instruments per year in my mountainside workshop. My instruments combine Old World craftsmanship with New World technology. As do those of most other builders, my guitars rest on the very large shoulders of the past Masters.
I primarily build classical guitars with an occasional archtop thrown in for the pure enjoyment of it. My classical guitars are built either in the Torres and Hauser tradition or from a design borrowed from the ideas of the Ramirez and Rodriguez styles with some minor refinements of my own. From start to finish there are about 300 hours involved in the building of each instrument.
Each instrument is tailored to the specifications of the individual artist. When possible, before the final finish is applied, I spend time with the customer, tuning the guitar to his or her specifications. This insures that each instrument meets the artists' requirements as closely as possible.
