tonyf Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Playing around with iMovie tonight and I've transferred some video from some old band DVD's. Came across a gig I did with my band back in 2003. It was at Long Marston at a bikers bash, really really good sound due to the singer's mates on PA (all pro sound techs). I was using my long sold 1990 Warwick Thumb NT 5 string and god, does it sound awesome. Really organic, loads of midrange honk and so articulate. Being a loud soul'y funk'y four piece, it just fitted perfectly with the whole tone of the band. Having heard it again, just so gutted I'd sold it. I can't recall why I did but it was probably the usual story. New band, look/tone didn't fit etc. DOH! Anyway, I'm sure there's been one of these threads but anyone else got "really shouldn't have let that one go" stories? T PS. Anyone got a Thumb NT 4 or 5 they wanna trade for a Modulus Flea (which I'll probably regret getting rid of in 18 months time)? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I recently sold a BO5... The guy got a bargain as it was a beauty (pic's in my gear thread -see my sig-). I actually prefer the feel of the BO's, but where the Thumb sound is concerned I agree... I wish I still had mine as well!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Don't go telling everybody how good they are, the used prices will go back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I've never regretted selling anything, but I do regret that didn't buy a 60's Precision in the 70's when they were much cheaper and two weeks ago I tested the best sounding amp I've ever heard, a Thunderfunk 750 and I didn't get it! I still don't understand why I said no. Maybe it was the price!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 A black chequerboard bound Ricky 4001 with horseshoe & toaster pickups & the big crushed pearl inlays. It was a dog of a bass but if I'd known how much they'd be changing hands for these days................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
