Hagstrom HB-8 8 string Octave courses Fretted Short Scale Bass

Posted on June 17, 2013   

Well, this is a fun toy.... :-D And in Transparent Cherry Red! Includes matching hard shell Hagstrom Tweed case!
~~~ Chinese :-( built re-issue of the famous bass used on Axis: Bold as Love and Presence, among other classic albums
~~~ HUGE improvements over the original design
~~~ great wood, great acoustic properties, great electrics
~~~ poor Q/A and poor setup/final assembly, but that was all solvable with some DIY fixes
