Carl Thompson is one of the brands that creates the most beautiful basses in the world.
All are custom-made, one-of-a-kind pieces, each one a work of art and of the highest quality.
Stanley Clarke and Les Claypool are also famous for using his basses. (Titles omitted)
This is a Semi-Frills model with bolt-on construction.
The body is likely a five-piece mahogany and walnut construction.
The neck is maple and the fingerboard is ebony.
The scale is 36 inches.
The finish is an extremely careful oil finish that fully brings out the natural warmth of the wood, resulting in a tasteful finish.
The pickups are Kent Armstrong.
Although it's a simple passive type, a wide range of sounds can be created by utilizing the unique preset tone switch, pickup selector, and tone controls.
The playing feel is incredibly smooth.
It has the tightness you expect from a 36-inch scale, but also allows for flexible string vibration.
The length of the fingerboard is barely noticeable, and the soft feel of the strings touching your fingertips is very appealing.
I think it's truly beautifully designed.
It has a wide range without being too present, with ample low end and a musical, harmonically rich mid-range.
The world's finest electric bass.
Don't miss this opportunity!
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
