Martin Turner getting a Badbird
« on: February 18, 2015, 03:35:19 PM »
 I reached out to Martins organization and a Badbird is now winging his way. His Thunderbird has had a Badass on it for years and his tech said he maybe reluctant to change it but he also may have another Tbird to put it on. Martin starts a tour on the Feb. 19 so it will be waiting for him when he gets back home. :) Whether  he puts it on his bass or puts it in a parts box I'm really chuffed. :)

And that Badass always looked frankly horrible on the sacred TBird!

Yep. It got the job done, but the Badbird is a more elegant and worthy replacement.

  I think 2015 is going to be big, The Badbird II will drop soon, Thunderbird covers, pickguards and the Badbird Bass. Lots of balls in the air right now. I'm just trying t keep it all straight and make progress.
