I gotta transfer my membership guys, :cry:
But I'll be back sometime in the future with a 4 string Thumb NT.
In the meantime,I'll have a new Streamer Stage 2 in 4 string to keep me goin.

I wanna see your new SS2 in the Streamer Club...and what's the story behind it and the disappearance of your Thumb? :shock:

Pics to come after the weekend mate.
It's a pretty damn cool story Mark,stay tuned.
**gotta go pick up Zakk from school. :wink:

Awesome! Looking forward to it. Plus, I have a bid in on a Dolphin, but cannot take delivery until I'm out of the hospital. Will give more details as the deal unfolds... This will also make my collection complete for one bass per day of the week! :shock:

man you said you wouldn't buy one... Now I hate you (jk) a bit more...

Hi all,

I posted a few pics in the Caffe a while back, but figured I'd post some here and join the Thumb club. There are some beautiful instruments floating around these pages...but I'll add a little bit more bass pron!
:wink:
Here is my 2000 Thumb 4 BO (please excuse the bad photography)







A shot showing the linear grain of the Ovangkol:


A shot shoing the 3-d grain (bad flash!):


And a shot looking down the neck:


...and the family shot


Cheers!

If you're referring to me and the Dolphin, well the right one came along before I'm ready, but I cannot pass this chance up!

Welcome to the Thumb Club! Nice entry - love the dark grain! Also dig your user name! 8)

 

[desTroy]

Thanks maddrakkett! I appreciate it. I really like the dark grain of my Thumb too. One of these days I'd like to add a nice NT 4 to the mix with a nicely grained Bubinga like yours. Your NT is outrageous!

 

[trujo777]

on the for sale section I would like to see if anybody could trade their NT5 for my NT4. anybody?

Thanks for the kind word. That bass was a rare find for me and nothing can top it in my book!

But yours is one of the best looking BO I've ever seen! 8)

I did a little bit of cleaning!







I taped off the fret board and cleaned the frets with a scotchbrite pad.




Spray painted the screws, saddles, and tailpeice.






And I think I need a better camera




















What da ya think?

 

[Benjamin]

What do I think? Beautiful!

 

[desTroy]

Looking good, Jeremiah! Shiny, freshly cleaned basses FTW!

I sent the Thumb to it's new owner today & I'm already missing my baby.
I had to take Zakk's mini Thumb off it's mini stand & put it away in it's mini rockbag coz it's keeps reminding me that my baby is gone. :cry:
:idea: I think I better start saving for another Thumb NT,or sell my watch to get the cash quickly.
The day I found the Thumb,I bought it,so there was no waiting induced anguish & anxiety.Just pure excitement.
This is a really wierd emotion.Kinda like GAS,but different.

Ah, don't make poor Zakk suffer the loss...sell your watch, even if it keeps better time than your drummer...get ya another Thumb NT for yours and Zakk's sake!

You're welcome to drop in and play it any time you're passing through Brisvegas... although it will be properly tuned the next time you see it, not sure how you'll go with that :lol:

this is the opposite of GAS... it is SAG (Sorry And Gone)!

[Grgzilla]

I'll take you up on that offer Peter. :wink:


The money I got for the Thumb was in my account for 90 minutes before it went to pay for the SS2.So an offer George,say $50? :lol:

 

[trujo777]

Dude!! I have gotten some serious low ball offers on those basses but you got the king of them all!!

LOL :lol:

I do not think I will go THAT low.

 

[desTroy]

Polished the frets, fret doctored the board, waxed the body/headstock (twice) restrung and tweaked the set up last night. Took pics in the park across from my loft today.

Warwick solo, take one:
