Thunderthumbs

Lovely looking bass. Dare I ask how much it cost in total?

Everyone I know that has played one has said how oddly natural they feel. Ergonomically designed for the natural hand position aren't they? I really must give one a try some day.

Can't disagree with any of the above. I used to have a 90s Thumb 5NT which was a beautiful bass, but because of the small body shape and the long neck, it did feel slightly neck heavy and not one for people with short arms. I also used to own a 4 string Streamer Stage 1. The balance of it was definitely better, and it would've been good to have been able to do a closer comparison with the Thumb had it been a 5 string. The sound of the Thumb is definitely [b]the[/b] Warwick sound, but the Streamer was a far more versatile bass due to the P/J pickup configuration. As everyone has said above, I would spend time trying out a few different models for yourself before committing to buying one that you end up not being particularly happy with. If I was going to buy one now, [b]I[/b] personally would buy a 5 string Streamer.....as it's more suitable for what I would use it for. [b]BUT[/b] if I had the cash and it was available, I'd buy my old Thumb back at a second's notice.

How do you find the switch from a standard fretted neck to the Dingwall at a moment's notice? Is it something that takes a little getting used to or does it just come naturally?

My God.....if that IS an early one, that's a steal!!!

I picked up a Roland Bass Micro Cube RX a few months ago for use at home and got to say I love it. Can play with or without headphones. It also has an input for use with MP3 player, etc. Different types of amp/speaker simulations. Drum machine. Effects such as delay, chorus, flange, reverb. Built in tuner. Definitely one of my best purchases.

Talking to our old vocalist, I asked "who are your influences?". His answer: "I don't have any". Then after a long think......all he could come up with was Freddie Mercury.

Always loved Precisions in Antiqua finish. Blinkin' gorgeous.

Really nice Jake. Really nice take on it.

Hi Alex, Nice playing. Great song. Great tone. Nice & relaxed, not trying to overplay it or anything. Job well done. Cheers, Pete.

Nope, not just you

I recognise one of them (only a very quick shot) as a girl I follow on Twitter. www.twitter.com/bassgirl5809 and she also has the same username on Youtube.

[quote name='Killerfridge' timestamp='1324224170' post='1471997'] Just a bit of constructive criticism, you have panned the bass fully to the left - not sure if this was intentional or not, but it is a bit distracting. [/quote] Not a problem for me as my right headphone speaker is bust

A guy I was given the number of a while back was Paul Renuprez on 0161 480 4878. Ended up not needing him, so can't personally vouch for his work.

+1 for StringsDirect. Used them a few times and never had a problem. And [b]definitely[/b] cheaper than the local music shop.

Oooooh......yesssss.....sirrrrrr! Very nice!

I'm probably a bit too old for their liking (45 years young!), but I admit to really liking that song. I was/am a fan of It Bites and the time signature changes, etc. remind me of them a little, but with a more modern flavour to it. Any more tunes worth listening to?
