4800 GBP

I am selling this beautiful Carl Thompson bass as it is not getting the playing time it needs or deserves.

Its build by Carl himself in the early 90s. it has an EMG pickup and active electronics. the neck is 36"

It has a rare wooden bridge and a rare "hook" shaped upper horn.

The neck is Padauk with Ebony frettboard. i think the top is charry and the wings are mahogany. i am not sure what the center block is.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or send me a private message.

Trade with other basses and guitars are possible.

The bass is located in Denmark.

A good luthier could make it look nice with fretts. But it would still not be original or how the bass was ment to be. 

I reckon CT basses are quirky enough...if you had the money and the inclination, I'd go with a true-intonation [edit Microtonal] fretjob, just to make it even quirkier.
