Bill, that Candy NR IV T bird bass was a refin. I stripped it, repaired the crack by the E tuner, had my retired guitar repair guy Steve Dvorak reset the neck with a Pitch, then I painted it Polaris with real Dupont Acrylic Lacquer. Somehow...Tom ended up with it. I have pictures to verify that. He also owns my Kerry Green one, My NR Korina 8 string and I bel;eive a white refin reliced with white headstock thunderbird II.
Kevin, thanks for mentioning me,Bro!!! Love those birds!!!! You should hear my Hamer T bird 8 string with the single 9.7K chrome 60's Pickup!!! Ultimate Freight train tone.
