I don't usually like the 'cricket bat' type basses, but I have to admit that yours looks pretty good. Why has the piezo been disconnected? Is it easy to reconnect?

That would be interesting, to have video/sound samples. Do you know how much postage to the UK would be? Don't get too excited though - I'm still telling myself that I don't want to pay that much for a fretless!

Bummer! How about if 100 people accidentally drop a tenner in the vicinity of thunderthumbs front garden without realising, and then later in the day his bass gets stolen but it is never reported??? We should all get a number and do a 'virtual' draw just to see who would have won! You can count me in on that one.

Those marked with a "?"........reading your posts, I'm not sure whether you have actually confirmed you'd want one or not (should it get the go ahead), so could you clarify that for me please. Cheers. ... Golchen ...[/quote] Note: I'm not actually 'in' at the moment. In my yoof I used to gamble a lot on fruit machines. These days I don't generally gamble at all in any form - which doesn't mean I won't bite! The way I see it, this sort of thing isn't really a gamble, it's me giving away a tenner to someone I don't even know. That in itself isn't too big a deal, but I'm still left feeling do I (effectively) flush a tenner down the loo or do I go and buy something with it?? Not that a tenner is much these days.

If money and space were no object I'd definitely have it! Looks wonderful. As it happens, I [i]do[/i] have the money, but I wouldn't part with so much over a fretless as I'm crap at playing them, and also I have a cheapo which is good enough for my current level of interest. On the other hand I [i]don't[/i] have enough space for another bass.

Interesting idea. I don't actually like thumb basses so I'd probably just stick it on eBay if I bought a ticket and won. Is that horribly cynical? I can't see this as a 'way forward' because people will only bite once or twice on this sort of thing. Nice idea for an occasional though. How would you ensure the draw to be fair? I'm not particularly in favour of names in a hat in this day and age?

Too bad it's not fretted! (I wonder how much that would cost to have done??)

I'd have bitten your arm of for that last summer - exactly the model I wanted. Good price as well I'd say. Unfortunately I have a fretless now, which is pretty crap but OK for purpose.
