I was going to put up my 1990 Thumb NT4! Then after having waxed and cleaned and polished, and played for 4 hours, the reality of selling it would have been crazy..It would be total sellers regret!!

 

These early thumbs upto 92 with their slim neck profile, have arguably become and rightly so classics..The sound of the fundamental on the low E, just rock when played through an old Trace Elliot rig..

 

Someone will be very happy with this beauty..

 

GLWTS 👍 😃

Exactly this! Not to mention the Schaller tuners, brass JUST-A-NUT I and solid brass bridge. My 87 JD Thumb aint going nowhere!

Done

Unfortunately it doesnt have the trim pot on it. This helps you to dial in the pre-set mid range on the active pre. Still a great sounding pre without it though

What's with the bridge pickup?

Previous owner stuck a piece of tape over it, not sure why. Maybe that’s where they rested their thumb. I’ve left it on.

Same here (year and model), even though I don't play 4s any more except the odd open mic night when I take it for a run out.
