    Lowered the price, even if the last one I owned (same year/conditions) easily sold for €2200 on ebay. Tough times, I guess.

    Wow, it's one of the best looking Affirmas I've seen. And I've seen A FEW. Sorry about your back, mate!

    Hello... no problem for the pictures but you'll need to be pretty specific about what you want to see. Otherwise I'll just send you a message with the ones I already have 😆

    I'd replace the pickups with a "closed" set with bar magnets. If you decide to give it a go, I should have some AlNiCo5 bars long enough for those pickups... it would solve (if you're having it) the problem of the magnets not picking up the movement of each string. As far as I know, though, on many 5ers you'll find 4-strings-sized J pickups.

    If the fingerboard has a steep radius (like 12") it can happen more easily if you bend the G toward the D, for example. To see if you have a high fret you might try to set the neck straight and use the blade of a cutter (must be brand new). They're usually pretty straight. Put it on 3 frets at a time and move it around in the spots where the strings usually sit and you'll eventually find a few high spots.

    €2000 for a fast sale.

    Need to make room, too much stuff I don't use... cabs and basses. So if interested send me an offer but no tire kickers, please... had my fair share already 😅

    Willing to include shipping anywhere in the world.

    It's a great bass but I never play, so it's sitting in the case doing nothing.

    Nope, didn't check the weight but it's not as heavy as some Thumbs I owned in the past. Sure, can ship to France.

    Bass sold elsewhere

    It's obviously not ultralight, I'd say 4.6kg or so but I don't know if I have a way to find out the exact weight. £1480 with today's exchange rate.

    Uh, just noticed it's in UK pounds but it's meant to be in Euro currency.

    Sold my Affirma to Tony... as usual we closed the deal in minutes and everything was smooth. Glad to hear he just received the bass safe and sound. 🙂

    Might be interested... any picture?
  19. Matte_black
    Thanks... yeah, it's got a nice grain for sure. Older ones usually have plain bodies while in '89 they started using Bubinga with the nice "bee's wing" figure.

    Sold on ebay

    Hello guys, before hitting ebay as usual, thought I'd give it a try here. Selling a nice '90 Thumb bass 6, pretty hard to find nowadays. At the moment it's "in pieces" (all the hardware removed) for a total overhaul. I'm going to remove a couple of light scratches, clean everything, string it with a new set of D'Addario 25-135. It's got no mods, no cracks, no repairs. Very nice wood and it's a good sounding example. I'll put it on ebay as soon as it's ready, but in these 2-3 days, if somebody's interested, let me know! Not interested in trades. Paypal or bank wire transfer.

    Oooh, finally something different and original! I like it. Shame that nice looking bridge won't allow intonation adjustment, but it sure looks sharp. The extra strap button hole would be easy to plug/make almost invisible though.
  23. Matte_black
    Need to make room and sell something, so price is negotiable.
  24. Matte_black
    Strange to see a non-carbonfiber bass made by Marko 😉 Anyway he's good at it, no doubt! Just don't understand the reason for the mismatched color tuners. 😄
  25. Matte_black
    Thanks! It's basically brand new... put it together, never gigged. Didn't even put the handle on LOL. It's a sealed design with a 6" mid and a soft-dome tweeter.
