Amazing!

Another rare creation.
Sweet. :mrgreen:

Rather ironic that I sold you my Hamer Chap 8-string to use for the neck for this TBird 8....and you end up painting it the same strange color as my Hamer Jeff Ament Cruisebass!!!!!
That's kharma Baz.....it's heading to my house when you sell it :)
BTW...looks nice.

Looks great!
As some of you may know I had my Korean made Hamer CH-12 slaughtered and the neck was married with a B-12S style body. The neck was and is very sturdy and good (the original body wasn't) and I was wondering if the current Chinese ones have similar necks? A Chinese CH-12 could be a cheap one for another project 'cause you can't have too many 12-strings can you?
-
I suppose...But I wanted all American made parts on this bass. This is Little Daddy Roth's Trippin Uncle Bob's Blues and some other flake that I bought on Ebay. I had my Buddy Ben Lindsey from Madison's Music paint it for me since I don't have a spray booth! Ben does the best paint jobs in america or at least one of the TOP guys. His sunbursts are the Best in the US period.
Jon, I'm NOT selling this one. Period. I don't even think I would trade it for my old Cheap Trick 8 string I sold you!!! Ha! But thanks for the compliment!!! And the Hamer Chap 8 string!!!
George, thanks for posting pics!!! Will have more when It's finished. Bout one more week or so!!! YAY!!!! Then It will be time to finish my Korina Futura 8 string bass!!! Oh yeah....8 string Baby!!!!
-
Looks fantastic Baz! Great project :thumbsup:
-
Jon, I'm NOT selling this one. Period.
....BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA (uttered in a deep dark evil tone, with the "Theme From Jaws" playing in the background.) That's the THIRD Hamer 8-string I've sold you.....they don't seem to last very long in "Casa De Bazo." But I WILL bet this one lasts at least 10 months :)
Oh yeah....8 string Baby!!!!
At least you and I remain 8-string brothers in arms and have probably had more 8-strings between us than anyone!!
-
Yes, My Brother-in-Arms....8 string Kings!!!!!!!! No really....I THINK...this is THEE one....Or maybe the FUTURA will be it....who knows??????? Ha! Ha! Ha! (Laughing like The Joker)

Hey Andre.....
If shipping wasn't so expensive to Germany, maybe Baz would have thrown in the other four tuning machines and strings !! :)

Hey Jon, Baz sure throw in the full set of tuners and strings ... :mrgreen:
Actually I'm more into 8 string playing for now. That's the reason for the (temporary) conversion. ;)
-
The only thing keeping me from lusting after that is the 8 strings - my fingers aren't that clever.
LOVE the finish and color!!!!!!!!! :o
-
Thank you!!!! I painted the Inverness Green 12 string, but Had my buddy Ben Lindsey from MadisonsMusic.net do the metal flake on the 8 string. He does INCREDIBLE work!!!
-
Shipped out today. Should be here soon.
-
Got it today. Will post pics soon!! Too busy playing it!!! Truly the best playing, best sounding 8 string I have built to date. I have never played a better 8 string thunderbird period.
