Stingrays sound great to me, but only when other people are playing them.

I'm tempted by this head too. I reckon it would be a good paring with my super twin..

L2000s can definitely do old school tones, if you put it in passive mode, parallel and roll the treble down a bit.

Hey everyone, I've had GAS for a BB for a while and more recently it's getting uncontrollable, mostly because of the stable of beautiful ones in for sale on this site. To that end I'm wondering if anyone can give me pros and cons on the BB1200 vs the 1024x? I mostly play a 50s roadworn P-bass or an L2000 these days and tend to favour a bigger neck. The reverse P in the 1200 intrigues me, but for what ever reason I've never kept a neck thru bass. Having said that it's likely that they got moved on because they were active rather than neck thru. The PJ in the 1024x would probably work well for me but I'm not the biggest fan of the control and scratch plates aesthetically.

I'd love an Alu necked P bass

The Thumb has 26 frets. 1985 that came out.

Man that's cool. It's got a bit of the grabber/ripper about it. I bet it sounds huge. "My daddy said son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop playing that hot-rod Lincoln."

It was more the 5 that I was confused by

Love the look of the D5 but I don't understand the naming convention

I'm fancying one of these at the moment. How are you finding it?

I'd love to have a go on one of these. My only aesthetic issue with them is the tuners. Clovers would definitely have looked better.

Man that silverburst 😮

I recently snapped this bad boy up on a bit of a whim. I bought a thumb a few months ago and while it sounded great on its own I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted it to in a band situation so I made the decision to sell it. I was about to order a Limelight Jazz build when I spotted this little beauty on the classic and cool website. The thumb rest is an add on but the strings might be original 😂. I'm amazed by it. It's easily the highest output bass I've come across before I've turned the preamp on, with the preamp everything shakes and the sound tightens up, like turning a compressor on. It's got plenty of versatility and a real mid range punch in the face. I'm sure a fresh set of strings will bring even more punch. The controls are really easy to get your head around. I've owned a T-40 for years so I'm used to odd ball electronics. It's pretty heavy too. 4.18kg, only 100g lighter than my T-40. Here are some pics to drool over. I like the black appointments. Does anyone know if black or chrome was an option or if it was a change in production at some point?

I'll make an NBD thread later today.
