rjb Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Stockholm Syndrome' post='398605' date='Feb 3 2009, 09:08 AM']No love for this bass? [/quote] Give it a bit of time. Also, there are a few 5 string Thumbs/Streamers knocking around the "For Sale" section, you could get in contact with those sellers perhaps.... The guy in the thread below is selling a Thumb V made in the same year as yours. Perhaps you could get him to hold it whilst you make a sale?

Guest BassKS Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 People may get scared of the facial expressions pulled by the seller Great Bass. Good luck with the sale
simondee Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I would love another one of these but they're SOOOOOO HEAVY.

Quite what the benefit is of having a surprisingly-heavy bass I'm not yet sure, but I will come up with something. Brb. Nice bass BTW, thread-starter-guy.
GreeneKing Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I have a couple of 4 string basses that are considerably heavier than my 90 NT. I've never thought the weight was an issue at all to be honest, maybe some are heavier than others? Not a particularly helpful comment in the thread either methinks. Great basses, especially the earlier ones like this.

Bubinga is a heavy wood, but the small size of the Thumb body eliminates that as a problem (well for me at least). Sexy bass btw! Played one of these earlier thumbs before, and they're brilliant basses! So have a free bump on me.

Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 No interest in this bass? Perhaps I'll try putting it on eBay in a few days.

Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Sure, they are heavy basses, but compared to some old jazz basses, I don't see what the problem is. The playability is second to none. They practically play themselves. They are not so heavy that you can't stand it. I'm a tall, skinny guy, and I have no problem what so all playing it! The sound is worth the weight! EDIT: Sale price added! Edited February 8, 2009 by Stockholm Syndrome
Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 I will ship to any country in the EU!

[/quote] Jo, jag ska om ett litet tag, men de är så anti-Warwick där att jag vill vänta ett tag. The bass comes with Schaller straplocks on a standard Ernie Ball strap.

Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Will also consider any other high-end 5-string (shoot me your best offer)!
Stockholm Syndrome Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 A bit desperate for cash, so feel free to shoot me a lowball offer!
Stockholm Syndrome Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Deal pending awaiting the usual formalities.
Stockholm Syndrome Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Believe it or not, but this has FINALLY been sold! This is hopefully the starting point of me getting a custom bass!
