I traded 2 Thunderbirds for the Candy Red Hamer FB-VIII 8 string bass with 3 pickups, 3 on/off switches, 3 volume knobs and 3 output jacks. I got it from Kevin Tihista from Triple Fast Action. His manager bought it from Tom's guys for Him after they got signed to Capitol Records.  After my son was born, I needed cash, so I listed it on Ebay and I sold it to Jon Maye for a 4 digit red B8s and Cash. Last Year I also made and sold Jon the Korina NR 8 string T bird II, which a friend of ours secretly bought for Tom. I miss engineered that one but I guess Tom dig's it. The neck should have been sunk lower in the body. String height is WAY high...at least for me. He may like that action. I have since made another 8 string bass, a Korina Futura 8 String bass with the offset V headstock and one Thunderbird pickup. Plus I have my Candy Blue Metal Flake Hamer Thunderbird II 8 string!!!

I went to a number of the "Meltdown" shows as they were filmed up the road from here at Teddington Studios...

 It's been a long time since I've had something new to post  :)

 These are from 7/23/11 @ 7 Cedars Casino, they have a great stage and lighting, plus two completely pro soundmen that know how to make us sound good. I'm using my Lull T4 single pickup thru a Line6 Basspod Live Acoustic 360 model into my GK1001RBII 8x10 rig.

Doing my best attempt at fingerstyle, I'm channeling my inner John Taylor here  ;)

 


 It always surprises me how much folks like to jump around to this song, ya can't go wrong with The Clash's "Should I stay" I'm much more comfy here, using a pick.

So isn't that red Hamer Bird the one Jon (mc2ny) owns?

I think so. From what I hear, Tom replaced it with your NR's Korina twin...


Yeah...I have that red metalflake Hamer 8 of Petersson's (and also his B12A medium scale from the BUSTED album with the factory graphics).....and yeah, I shipped Tom off the korina non-reverse GiBson 8 a couple months back (the big "B" being for BazBuilt :)

I also recently sold a Candy Red Hamer Tbird to a bass tech pal of Nikki Sixx, after Nikki told him to buy it.

Lots of 'Birds flying around.
