Details

This is a VERY unique Carl Thompson. Probably the best playing modern CT I’ve played. I will leave this up for sale for a very short period of time. I understand it’s a lot of money but trust when I say THIS IS IT. I own quite a few of these bass guitars and the only reason I ever sell is to help out friends. I just don’t want to sell any of my vintage pieces of I don’t have to. If you ABSOLUTELY have your heart set on a vintage write me but my bass guitars are all in near perfect condition even if they are 40 years old, don’t expect them to be cheap. I don’t really wanna sell this one :( but I gotta

Ok about the bass.....
This is a CT above most. Not only does it play better than any, it sounds better (to my ears) and it is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and it plays perfectly. Lowwww action
Here are the specs:

36” scale
2 x Kent Armstrong pickups with custom covers (obvious)
Kent Armstrong 2 band preamp
Rainbow cat eyes
Custom bridge (love these best)

Forgive my stupid question, but what are Rainbow cat eyes?

I consider myself if not an expert than at the very least highly informed about bass guitars of all sorts, and i have no idea what that means either. i'd like to know! i assumed it was an inlay or knob cover or something like that.

Those were my initial guesses too but there are no inlays and the tuners, knobs, switches, etc. all look like chrome, at least in the pictures.
The only thing that I see that has 'rainbow' colors on the bass are the ball ends of the strings... but I can't imagine that being advertised as a feature of a $9000 bass :roflmao:

I think the reference to cat eyes is regarding the knobs. The tops of the knobs.
Not the wood grain.

You’re killing me!!!! This was my bass, I ordered from Carl. Selling it was like giving up a child. It’s definitely an amazing bass.
