I know it's not time for my update quite yet but if I wait you will miss the auction of the century! Jeff Ament (yes, of Pearl Jam) has teamed up with his favorite guitar and bass maker Mike Lull. Together they have created two (amazing) bass guitars that are being auctioned off with the proceeds going to Jeff's favorite charity: 826 Seattle.
Even if you are not in the market for a bass, please consider spreading the word amongst your friends! Here's what my French guitar-building friend Didier wrote on Facebook to (essentially) the whole of Europe (he is very popular):
Deux guitares basses fabriquées par le luthier Mike Hull et peinte par le bassiste de Pearl Jam Jeff Ament sont vendeus aux ancheres pour le bénéfice de 826 Seattle, une organisation sans but lucratif dédiée à l'alphabétisation des jeunes de la ville et dirigée par mon amie Teri. Fans de Pearl Jam et amoureux de la basse à vous de jouer.
If French isn't your thing try this. The auction ends in one week (January 26).
Just think about two words: collectors item.
Teri
