drcor Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Price £5250 Hi, for sale a stunning Carl Thompson bass 4 strings and 36"scale. Carl Thompson no more accept orders, so this is a great opportunity to buy one with lot of frills. It comes with original gig bag and a set of Pyramid strings for free. Condition :Mint Body core: Mahogany Body front top: Gaboon Ebony center with Cocobolo wings Body rear top (from center to both sides): Fish-eye Oakwood, Cocobolo, Canarywood (stripe), Gaboon Ebony. The diamond is Gaboon Ebony. Pickup cover: Lacewood with inlayed Gaboon Ebony diamond. Front routed control cavity with Cocobolo plate. Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Macassar Ebony with outer Gaboon Ebony stripes. Mother-of-pearl side dots. Headstock: Mahogany with Cocobolo front plate and Fish-eye Oakwood rear plate. That one is the same wood as the one used for the center stripe of the rear top but cutted from a different section. It looks totally different. The name plate on the headstock is purple dyed wood The electronics are very simple: one single Kent Armstrong humbucker pickup, passive tone control and a three position toggle switch: center is the operational mode; left is bypass, it totally silences the bass (clever intuition); right takes away some high end. This last position in conjunction with the tone control offers a wide range of nuances within the single sound available from the pickup. For those that are really interested I'll give them my nickname on ebay to check my feedback. Shipping 100 euro I consider trade only for Fodera yy Deluxe 4 Thanks Davide Edited October 31, 2015 by drcor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
