A big HOORAY for my Buddy Jamie Longo!!!! I think his handle is 4005!!!! Mr. Longo took care of me yesterday with 1 Chrome Orville Gibson Thunderbird bass pickup from the same batch as the 1st 8 string I built, from the gentleman who sold all of us a set a few years ago. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! Thanks Jamie!!!!!! The search is FINALLY over!!! And let's not forget...My other good friend Tony Carl (Overdriven 66) still has EXACT Repro 60's T bird covers fer sale!!!! Next...I await the birth of my Korina Non Reverse Thunderbird II 8 string bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;D

I sure haven't seen his name in quite a while. I don't think Jaime has ever registered here, I didn't have his email address to notify him when we started.

Glad you were able to find what you were looking for.

Hi Uwe yes I still am & I see you’re still absorbing Basses at a frightening pace you lucky fellow, since I emailed you a few years ago I’ve worked on a few more that were shown on ZDF & ARTE as well as many other stations around Europe & Canada & down under & from what I hear National Geographic in the USA picked up three as well don’t know when or if they’ll be shown however, so far I’ve worked on eight that were shown over there all but one w/ Dirk Pohlmann as the Director/writer & all but one dealing w/ the Cold War subjects,
Cheers :toast:
