 along with my Passion111 custom in funky orange (not sure what the colour is!!

I suppose it's the same colour like those on my beloved 1993 Arpège III fretless 😍 - where it's called "Antique violin" (I guess)

The Thumb is a bigger stretch. The scale length 34", so the same as most basses, but by having a small body and short top-horn, the whole thing, when on a strap, hangs slightly further to the left than most basses. This is all fine and well, if you're going to be playing high up the neck to slap the high tones, but if you're going to play where we bass players are told we should be, then you're going to need long arms.

Exactly.

The only reason I love my Thumb is it's sound. Playing is the opposite of comfortable. In comparison with that, playing a Fender Jazz is a pure dream, and my Vigier Arpège III is an even more beautiful dream.

I once had the pleasure to compare my 2004 Thumb NT...

...with another one from '87. The '87's neck was much less exhausing so much better to play - but I didn't notice so much difference in sound (I don't remember the PUs of the '87 - I'm sure it were others than EMG because I remember playing a Thumb Fretless from '88 with EMGs and its sound was disastrous - it did not sing at all  ... )
