Cool, thanks for the response. I'm "stoked" to get this BT Profile bass! I sold my backup bass and am selling an electric to finance it. I wasn't using either very much (the bass was an Epiphone EB-1 [long scale] and it was too neck heavy to play, and sounded mediocre). My main bass is a mid '70s Ibanez Challenger - bassically a P-bass with a Jazz neck - and it plays and sounds fabulous, though it could use intonating...

I have found that many less expensive basses and guitars seem to have their pickups slightly off. It's a lot of work to correct properly and the results aren't really worth it. We'll see how mine is setup. I spoke with Bass Centre's US rep this morning and he put my order through after some lengthy issues with my bank and the 'flash fraud' issue between the US and the UK. Finally though we have an order in place!

Anybody still discussing the Bruce Thomas Profile bass around here? I'm about to purchase mine - finally! - and found this topic when doing a general search on the web. I'm a longtime bass player, recovering from a spinal injury that made it difficult to play for a number of years. I decided, upon turning 60, that I wanted to treat myself to the bass. I've had some contact with Bruce himself for the last 20 or so years and it's no secret that he is in my top 2 bass players; the only holdup now is making the transaction from where I live, the USA. Anyhow... here we are. I will report back once I get the bass! Meanwhile... what say you, Profilers? Marsh Gooch aka Goochified
