Nice. Pups look like they could be a bit wider to accomodate the E and G though.

Violet burst too.

I wonder what that EB-2 type in the back is....

OMG!

Do we know if it's set neck?

Where can you get these?

I've been in the market for an 8 string for awhile now, always thought it would be a Waterstone, but this is fantastic looking.

Beautiful! Painful GAS coming on.........Rrrright now.

The painful gas I get is from looking at your beautiful 8 string Gibson. Is there a thread on the one?

I know as much as you guys.

Looks bolt on to me.. notice the truss rod adjustment? Bolt on unless you are magical and can get a truss rod in there...

that green on is killer, wish the p/ups had more coverage.

Ah yes, I was so blinded by the sheer 80s hair band bliss and awesomeness to notice those kinds of details.

There isn't a thread but Tom Petersson has it's twin!

This company is in east Nashville (although I'm sure they're not built here). They have a little house here filled with instruments (notice the background of the photo).

I do like that green one!

GrooveRonin · #13 01-27-2012, 02:23 PM

really would love an 8string t-bird

I don't think this is the same "waterstone" that makes basses for Tom Petersson. There is like a bootleg "Waterstone" running around out there making basses too. Chinese copy kind. It looks like an Epi body repainted and a "Waterstone"-ish neck on it. I've looked at the official "waterstone" site and there is NO mention of ANY of these basses on their site.

the green bass is really gorgeous-one small thing i didn't like is the speed knobs look askew to me. it didn't seem as pronounced on the purple one,tho. TP's 8 string is awesomeness.

I agree. Those guitars on the back wall were at NAMM last summer..the Cheap Trick Paint Job in the background was done by artist Kii Arens

Rob Martinez · #19 01-27-2012, 06:01 PM

These are indeed Waterstone basses by the same company that makes Tom Petersson 12 string basses.

Damn, these look cool, esp. that green one! I have no use for an 8 string bass right now, but WOULD LOVE one of these.

There should be. That's one special bird.
