Getting a Thumb NT 5 tonight!

The sound clip wouldn't play on my Mac for some reason. Bass looks great though matey. I'm getting more and more in the mood for a Thumb. No pun intended.
 
I should have slept last night. I'm trying everything I can to open the clip for 20min. Then I realized that I have both basses:x Still wanted to hear my man play though.

Though it does look a little like that, and it would be pretty cool, I don't think it's truly the case here. I have a big slab of purpleheart sitting in my front hall and its VERY purple.:lol: The purplish hue that shows in the neck of my bass is just a glimmer, and only in certain lighting conditions.

I think Bunbinga that looks purple are way cooler than purpleheart ... ar ... that looks purple ... :P

LMAO, good one. :lol:
 
Hey, Gerry. You're gonna have to update your signature-avatar... Although "Gastrok" is gonna be font size 72 to list all those killer basses... ;)
 
Gerry your sound clips broke my PC!! Is your playing really that good? ;)
 
Mr. Gastrok, how did you get that nickname anyway? Does it have something to do with a medical term?

... I agree with you, never rely on soundclips when buying a bass.

Still, from an A/B you will hear the DIFFERENCE between the two of them. And this helps a lot if you know/ own one of them.
It also let you have a pretty good Idea of the bass's character, voice, especially when you hear more clips with the same bass, different players...

Yep - Gastrocnemius. I have (or actually use to when i was an avid runner) very large calf muscles, and my right one is quite a freak with lots of crazy veins all over the place;)

+1...and play before you buy, or my case, buy it anywayz! The SSII I bought from you was on faith! but no risk and no trust = nothing gained:d

hey Jeff, you're right,;) I got some work to do! thanks for reminding me.
 
nice soundclip.

i find A/Bs very helpful !

the bass also looks very nice. that bubinga grain is very swirly and it's beautiful.

if you have the time, could you also do an A/B with the SSII with some slapping ?

I don't know if it's the old strings or something to do with my sketchy technique, but I can't get a good slap tone out of the Thumb.
 
Amazing bass, amazing signature. Congratz. B)
