Thanks for the kind words. We got a few tour used birds in from Tom.  This one is my favorite..

Tony Babylon convinced Tom to refinish it in the transparent Cherry Red because it was stripped when he bought it a coupla years ago. He had RS Guitar Works do the refin to show that it was never broken. I have a picture somewhere of this bass hangin in the Spary booth next to a white '64 II I had RS refin a few years back. It's amazing how Tom goes through Thunderbirds like we go through toilet paper. I'd love to have it!

RS Guitarworks do a great job on their finishes. I have a "relic'd" Tractor bass from them and the finish is amazing, that thin Nitro layer really helps the bass resonate.  ;D

i guess bidders still don't realise that the reserve will be pretty damn close to the bin price. why do they bother.
