Glad to see Mark is happy with the "PINK PANZER" as it was christened by New Rising Son. The Holly overlay was just finished Friday on My Korina one so I should have that glued onto the headstock on Monday, then Epoxy the Gibson MOP into the overlay. Then it's time to sand and fill. Then yellow Clear coat. Trust me, If any of you Thinks an 8 string, is limited, you're wrong. I can play it on everything. True, I wouldn't use it on EVERY song, But ...I write bass lines for the bass. And it's usually progressive and hard edgey riffs. But I'm digging my new 1966 Guild Jetstar 4 string bass. Anyway, there are so many great Thunderbird basses....And now I've discovered the Guild Jetstars...Time to make a Jetstar 8 string next spring!!!!!!
