It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of a great and influential bass player, a truly good-hearted human being and a very close personal friend. Theron (known in the music industry as Thee-Ram Jam) was the victim of a violent crime Friday night October 14th.

We had the privilege of getting to know Theron as we constructed what he called his "dream" bass. He would drive up to our shop in Idyllwild and hold his bass in his arms like the love of his life.  We shared meals and thoughts...music and joy with him. 

Articulate, intelligent, compassionate, kind, funny and enlightened, Theron was truly one of the brightest lights and kindest souls we've ever known.  He gave us a tour of his facility in San Jacinto one day, when we went to show him progress on his bass.  He was prideful of what he did, as he should have been.  He was inspired and truly invested in his clients' lives. In the photo to the right he is holding what he called his "Ace Bass" .
