Yep Tom did buy the Korina 8 string, I sent him a parchment guard for it.

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?

Quote from: OldManC on June 01, 2011, 01:12:28 PM
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.

Another reason why Operation Seelöwe was too hastily aborted. And you'd be driving on the right side of the road too.  :P
