Other Bass Brands / Re: "Pinky" NR 8 String Back Up For Sale
« on: January 15, 2014, 12:30:47 AM »Is the headstock on the green one a converted 12ver? Cool looking layout. What served as the donors for the necks and bridges?
After experiencing the B12S, I'm already starting to eyeball stuff to sell to fund a B4S (assuming I could someday find one). Its a shame they went under.
Yes the green one is a original 12ver but I'm more into 8 strings these days.
Changed also the tuner heads on all three to save some weight on the neck.

Is the blue sparkle a Baz build? Is that an Orville pickup in it?
Beautiful basses!
Yes, the blue sparkle and the greenie are Baz build. The Great White is a factory custom order.

« on: January 13, 2014, 05:40:47 AM »I thought Hamer was shut down...finished...only making Guild Guitars?? Man..YEARS ago...i tried to get them to build me another Thunderbird 8 string...they flat out refused.....even though I had a record deal at the time!!!!
The White Bird was completed end November 2012. Waited nearly TWO years for it.
The CAR Bird came up on the HFC a couple of month later. Seems like someone else had a Thunderbird 8 String vision either ....

« on: January 13, 2014, 01:16:50 AM »WHOA!!! I've seen the one on the left and the one in the middle but where the heck did that white one come from??
I thought I was the only guy to have a HAMER factory original Hamer T bird 8???
And also today I found this???
White FB is one of last custom orders from the HAMER factory. That CAR FB was born
a couple of month later ... very cool tumbling boomers ...
