NOW VERY NEARLY SOLD - Musicman Stingray 5 Fretted 1989

Warwick Thumb NT 5 - amazing B string - much better than the Jazz DLX V I have.

I seem to remember Terence Trent D'Arby's bassist had a pink one way, way back, it always stuck in my mind. Seeing Cass Lewis's pink bass turned me on to the Thumb body shape too - wasn't his actually a Spector though? still, I was temped with it when it came up on eBay a while back.

my NT 1990 thumb 5 has been my main bass for 15/16 years now - quite simply, no bass I've ever played comes close to the comfort, playability and sound variations of this bass - I can get pretty much any tone I want from a flat amp - beautiful bass. (and I've had a Ray, 59 P bass, Rick 4001 - still own a 64 P bass and a jazz V deluxe) I have a de-fretted 1988 NT thumb 4 string too - with EMGs - very pokey and gets that pino growl and twang. I wouldn't swap my NT 5 for any other bass - still GAS after an old Ray and a Wal - though I know I'lll always go back to the Thumb! agree with NT v bolt on body shape, the bolt on isn't as nice to look at - plus the woods dont seem as figured. you'll never regret having a Thumb - just get on a Fender after and wonder how you get at the post 15th frets!!!

Converted Basscube surround for PJB 200.
MikeBass replied to The Burpster's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
hi, what ohms is the speaker? if you felt like splitting the combo - and moving the PJB on out of the cab - I'd be really interested in the speaker cab. Been looking for a well built, light 1x10 to pair up with my MarkBass 15" combo for ages now (without breaking the bank!!!) PM me with a price if you do. cheers, Mike -

fender 1997 usa deluxe jazz bass for sale !!!!PRICE DROP!!!!
MikeBass replied to thehighwayman's topic in Basses For Sale
[attachment=103991:bassbodySML.jpg][quote name='Huxley' timestamp='1333360533' post='1600415'] Does this bass have Suhr EQ/Pickups? Is it pretty much all original from when it was first bought? By the way, I am in Worthing. [/quote] this looks identical to my 1996 5 string - which has the suhr PUs - they are single pole and are stacked humbuckers not single coils. great sounding bass. -
from my previous research (I have an identical twin of this bass):"1996 Fender American Deluxe V Jazz Bass Deluxe. Firstly, the double cutaway body is alder. 1995 - 1998 USA Deluxe Jazz Basses are the only ones to ever have the Ash - Alder - Ash sandwich body. this was augmented with gorgeous ash veneer on both the top and the back Another fine feature is the fingerboard, only the Five String Deluxe has Pau Ferro wood. The neck itself is maple with graphite reinforcement. The Five String Deluxe is stock with Gotoh tuners. Another feature from this period is the John Suhr designed pickups that were only featured on Jazz Basses from 1995 to 1998. If I’m not mistaken I also believe Surh had a hand in designing the preamp in this Bass. It’s a 9volt, multi-band EQ with stacked knobs. All USA Fenders made during 1996 bore a Fender 50th anniversary emblem on the back of the headstock." hope this answers some questions - awesome bass, I really like mine. Powerful sound. cheers, Mike
