a certain thumb...
 

does anyone happen to have aLTD 2007 thumb flaming blonde?
if so, how does it sound vs a traditional one; has the jazzman PU layout and the exotic woods...
curious
and of course...
anyone have one they would donate for paper currency...?:hiding:

I had one a little over a year ago. Absolutely loved it. One of the best sounding basses I've ever owned. To me, it doesn't sound like a traditional thumb much at all. I think the pickup placement is the main reason. To me, it sounded (unsurprisingly) very similar to a streamer or fna Jazzman. Of course, the woods change it a little bit, but I'm speaking more in terms of a general tone. It is, however, the best looking thumb they've produced I think.

would anybody believe me if i told them i found and bought a brand new NOS 2007 flaming blond 5 string LTD with all the goodies?
it arrives on friday

theres one for sale in guitar center used. $1500

Joebar. Did ya get it outta Cali? I know a small shop that had a NOS

got it at warwick depot in dallas
at a killer price too...
i am just stoked; i hope it still sounds like a thumb in spite of the different wood and different PU's

Nice! congratulations on the acquisition! Definitely be sure to keep us posted, and share some photos of your new Thumb bass!

Here's a quick video I made when I still had my Flamin Blonde where I ran through a lot of the tonal options of the bass. I believe the preamp was just set flat throughout, and I just changed the pickups, but it will at least give you an idea.
