Great basses. Am tempted to pick up a fretless Thunder if I can find one.

Either way it really doesn't matter in the great scheme of things. His demands for endorsements seem very OTT, by the way.

Hehe. Good on Graeme/Jacko I say - he built exactly what he was after. I'll bet it sounds pretty good, too. P.S. Did anyone PM the guy about this thread?

Too fussy. Little imagination. No taste. Give me James Jamerson or Nate Watts. Actually, give me Tina Weymouth playing all two notes of Once In A Lifetime!

I always found it funny how loads of folk bought Stingrays after Blood Sugar Sex Magic only to later discover many of its best lines were played on a Wal!

Despite the recent economic goings-on Fenders still bring in the cash due to current fashions and heritage, but the market is indeed quite depressed at the moment if you're selling anything else..... Having said that, isn't the new-wave revival / indie landill scene on its last legs now?

I have a Thumb problem. It's quite serious..... [attachment=29002:thumbs_01.JPG]

How about a Sandberg California? I have my eye on a P5 at the moment. Their price from new comes right into your budget.

Once In A Lifetime, Talking Heads. Utterly brilliant in its simplicity - two notes (with occasional slides and fills)! Though Tina Weymouth played it but I've always sensed a bit of Eno's ambient influence on this one.

Thumb basses rule. Loads of tone. The BO version has more mids and can do a great P impression. The NT is a little more polite sounding with more lows and clearer sustain. I'd say that if you go for a Thumb, the BO would suit you better. Either way, be sure to try both as they are very different animals.

Sometimes you can make millions needing to do little more than play root notes in 4/4. Adam Clayton, Guy Berryman - I'm looking at you!
