I have a 2005 German Corvette $$ 5-string that's my beater.
I was going to rout it for MM pickups with ears instead of the Stingray 5 soapbar just bc I have more options.....and they look cooler.
I really like Nordstands lately.
I might take the neck's shoulders down a little bc it's always felt like a bat.
Everytime I think about what retail was on this bass 12 years ago vs now, I take it out of my dirty laundry basket and throw it on the couch. I actually bought a gig bag for it today on Amazon bc it's spent most of its life in an Ikea laundry basket.
I ordered some parts bc the JAN2 broke so long ago I noticed surface rust on the strings and thought, are these strings really 10-years old?
Randomly found a Thumb 5 I forgot I even owned, I swore I sold it in college, that was like 20 years ago.
I mean, I remember selling it so it's kinda puzzling that I still have it. It is very possible the dude that bought it left it to pick up later and it's just kinda moved with me since. He did buy a Mesa 400 with a matching Road Ready 2x10 off me that day in a big package deal. I clearly remember the giant wad of 100's in my pocket and hitting a strip club with my dorm mates that nights at their suggestion. I barely drank or tipped, I just had my hand on my pocket the whole night. I think one dancer thought something weird was going on bc my buddy paid for this group lap dance and she looked at me funny the whole time.
Oh well, it's just stuff.
You want pickups, I'll straight give you mine if I gut my $$, you pay shipping.
I'd assume the ones in a German $$ are better, but they might not be.
Oh, someone wrapped it in duct tape like a mummy thinking it was funny.
I never bothered to clean the adhesive off the pickup covers, seriously.
