Ok... so which Bird is which?wow -... wait ... the red one - that's a '66 ... that's the one I'd want! I was looking at the order you typed it thinking the red one was the 2012... never mind....
When I was first looking at basses in mid-late 60's, I saw the Haggies in my local (mom & pop) music store. My image is of a red bass with the moulded plastic pg with what looked like a speaker grill. (like that guitar) They were out of my price-range but I like their groovy look.
I'm not looking for another bass (not that I'm not looking at other basses), but if I found a decent old Hagstrom for a good price, I'd probably have to get it.
Welcome to Thunderbird! Where we do not follow the Gen Pop rules about bringing the box inside and letting it sit for a few days, then removing the shipping labels and leaving for a few more days... After 6 weeks you are ready to see your new bass.
would love to try an 8 string like Redding’sWhen I was first looking at basses in mid-late 60's, I saw the Haggies in my local (mom & pop) music store.

Hamer right?
I will say that now with my Italia strap (which I was able to extend a bit more) it sits perfect and is very comfortable to play!

I looked at-and wanted-one at a mom&pop store in N. Miami. Once I accumulated the cash, I went back. It-and they-were gone.would love to try an 8 string like Redding’s

Blue 2012? Red 1966 ?

Very nice rig! Hopefully you didn't have to sell those beautiful birds to get it.
Absolutely! (Don't forget the "Punk")yeah, has to be varied...the colors are as you said for the different vocalists (4)...this is the second two sets....should I tell him you asked if he's feeling "lucky?"...
