Waterstone V8 Thunderbird

 Here is the finished product, not much different than the pic above but the bridge pickup is straightened out and the saddles are filed for string spacing.  In retrospect I should have had Carlo build me a 8 string NR!

How's she play now, Scott...?

Kenny she sounds great! Doesn't play to bad, most players would be happy with the action I think another 1/4 turn on the truss rod and I'm there. I have had the thing apart and put it back together so many time in the past month I just don't feel like pulling the neck right now! I will say this if you didn't know the basses history I think people would be impressed.

So the pain was worth the gain after all... sweet...!

Looks like you used the entire tin of turd polish on this one Scott! It looks "right" now. I might go with some black chrome cap Gibby knobs versus the gold speed knobs, but that's just me.

  I used every bit of that turd polish! I shimmed the neck today got the action nice and low Tom I think your right I'll get some black and silver gibby knobs.
