Okay you sickos!!! Here is my latest entry to the Thumb club. sad but true. been GASsing for this over the last 2 months and making payments for this sweetness.

enjoy.

solid bubinga wood body, ebony fretboard, Wenge neck, JAN1, 2 band MEC, Mec active p/ups and Fretless. Yes i am sick and??????

LOL

this has the same woods as the Thumb NT but in BO construction and is sooo sweet and joy to play. my first fretless too.

for your GAS needs...

things in the economic side are not looking so good so it might be coming up for sale soon. still debating on this because these bubinga FS Thumbs are so hard to find especially with the wenge neck and bubinga body and JAN1.

:((

the days have been cloudy and we finally had a sunny day last Friday so I rushed out there for the pics.

I know but I think I will just add more potatoes and more water to the soup to be able to keep it.

I really love this bass. if this was a 5er... would not be an option... I do have a D-tuner somewhere here.. soo...;)
 
there's always the wonderful world of mac 'n cheese too...you gotta hang on to that lovely thang!
 
Wow,

you don't see these basses too often. As a matter of fact, I think it's the first time I see one of those.......................Splendid.8:
 
You're gonna sell it?
Trujo,you have THE worst retail therapy disorder I've ever seen mate.Either that,or you can charm sellers down to a rediculous price that's low enough to be able to actually turn a profit.
 
thanks guys.

i love it and I am debating myself whether top keep o not but I think I will keep it since it is in mint cond, no scratches dent and good lettering on pickups and THAT SOUND!!! WOWW!!!

I think I will stick to Mac N Cheese and Ramen Noodles (the ones in the packet not the ones in the cup since those are more expensive. LOL ;)

I don't d trades because of profit but to try different basses and sort what i like the most to my needs and what I can not afford o r keep oir can not play due to tone or financial issues. LOL

why not ?

no man, you got that wrong !
there shouldn't be neck dive at all, if the neck is made of "hard rock baguette":



the sound of the bass would have less growl, but more crunch to it, i think.
and there would be sustain until.... supper.

maybe i should write the custom shop an email......
