“Hagstrom is proud to unleash the magnificent HB-8 eight string bass. Revolutionary when it was introduced in the ‘60s, the HB-8 was made famous by Noel Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Mike Rutherford, and others. Jaw-dropping tone that has to be experienced to be believed.”

Spring cleaning. I traded in four guitars and an amp rig so I could order this. T-minus six weeks…
