FS 1996 Carl Thompson Walnut Beauty
 
2 Attachment(s)
Up for sale is a bass that holds a very special place in my heart. I got into playing bass after hearing Primus at age 15. Since then I have been incredibly blessed to have played and owned so many basses. As a Primus junky, I had always wanted a Carl Thompson. Well last year I finally got one. It is a dream, light, just over 7lbs, versatile, full bodied, just all together special.

Specs -
Walnut body with Walnut top (three piece with red wood in between.
Rose wood board with a maple neck.
Single EMG pickup.
This is the No Frills model and is in stellar condition. I have babied her since day one.

My asking price is $4100. Only trades id be interested in would be Smith, Ritter and MTD.

Let me know if you have any questions...Attachment 315431Attachment 315432

Thanks RedMoses! The thumbs are killer, but I don't play them much these days. This baby is a beast!!

Beautiful. Ball scroll with Carl's own wooden bridge... This is an uncommon No Frills for sure! What pre is in it?

thomasjbass 02-09-2013 10:31 AM

I'm not certain, but I believe it's the EMG pre, but ill find out. It's stock from what Carl put into it.

If you post a picture of the control cavity with the back cover off I may be able to tell you which model it is
