12 (Twelve) String Thunderbird

[BlueTalon]

I'd google various translations of the word "impossible" and name it that in whichever language it sounds the nicest.

I like the Russian невозможно, transliterated "nevozmozhno", pronounced NYE-voz-MOZH-nah. It sounds cool and poetic.

Hot damn!

Very Cool, looking forward to seeing the finished 'Bird!!

 

[Haji]

That's awesome! Too bad it doesn't really exist because its impossobru!

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing it assembled.

 

[AltGrendel]

That is beyond amazing. Can't wait to see it assembled.

Wow. Got the Thunderbird mostly put together last night, everything but the soldering. It sings. Sustain and tone for days... At least acoustically I'll get some pictures posted later today.. The neck is straight as an arrow with only a bit of truss rod engagement. I have to say this bass turned out waaaaay better than I expected. Action is really easy, no buzzing. I had Dan dress and polish the frets and boy am i glad. No issues on any string at any fret. It's a keeper to be sure!!

 

[AltGrendel]

That's what you get for doing the impossible.

 

[L. L. Elwood]

Best I could do with my cell...

 

[L. L. Elwood]

By the way, That's Dan from Axe Haven... holding the body above...he does some amazing work.

Spectacular may be a word that's become overused, but I think it's very descriptive in this case.

 

[Bassmanmike1]

That is sweet! Now we start haranguing you for sound clips.

 

[Larry V]

From one Larry to another, that bass is incredible!

 

[Darkstrike]

Geez, that is gorgeous!

 

[J Gold]

Yo, let me borrow that?

Winner for the coolest bass I've seen on TB!

 

[L. L. Elwood]
