Also, there are a few 5 string Thumbs/Streamers knocking around the "For Sale" section, you could get in contact with those sellers perhaps.... The guy in the thread below is selling a Thumb V made in the same year as yours. Perhaps you could get him to hold it whilst you make a sale? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=37358&hl=thumb"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=37358&hl=thumb[/url] Great bass by the way, but as you can see I'm pretty well covered on the Thumb front!

Guest BassKS Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 People may get scared of the facial expressions pulled by the seller Great Bass. Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simondee Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would love another one of these but they're SOOOOOO HEAVY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite what the benefit is of having a surprisingly-heavy bass I'm not yet sure, but I will come up with something. Brb. Nice bass BTW, thread-starter-guy.

GreeneKing Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have a couple of 4 string basses that are considerably heavier than my 90 NT. I've never thought the weight was an issue at all to be honest, maybe some are heavier than others? Not a particularly helpful comment in the thread either methinks. Great basses, especially the earlier ones like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubinga is a heavy wood, but the small size of the Thumb body eliminates that as a problem (well for me at least). Sexy bass btw! Played one of these earlier thumbs before, and they're brilliant basses! So have a free bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Sure, they are heavy basses, but compared to some old jazz basses, I don't see what the problem is. The playability is second to none. They practically play themselves. They are not so heavy that you can't stand it. I'm a tall, skinny guy, and I have no problem what so all playing it! The sound is worth the weight! EDIT: Sale price added! Edited February 8, 2009 by Stockholm Syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
