Blows me away every time I pick it up.

Well then, since we’re now comparing weights...

...6lbs. 10oz.!

What's your secret? A Fender Jazz with a Badass bridge at that weight is definitely a unicorn. Paulownia body?

Good call! Yeah, it’s a paulownia body from Guitar Fetish. Add in the Ultralite tuners, a not-so-heavy Squier neck and a less-than-high-mass Kmise bridge and there ya go!

This is a Carl Thompson, you should check him out!

Thanks all!

I wouldn't mind trying one, but I've never seen one in the wild.
Really, the only reason I know the name at all is because of Les Claypool. I love his tone on many of their earlier albums. The last few, not so much.

Could you be talking about Templeton Rye, perhaps?

It's pretty good, but a little pricey for an MGP-sourced whiskey, given the competition.

Ahhh!

I didn't realize it was rye.

I drink very little in the way of spirits, but the last time I had a little Knob Creek, last May, I asked if a friend wanted some, and he said, "No thank you, but I will join you in. Templeton."

I assumed it was bourbon.

Thank you for straightening that out.

Is it chambered out the wazoo?, or wafer thin to get that weight?.

Sippin' some rye at the moment... cheers

This one is pretty thin.

My "Squier" bourbon plays just as nice as your fancy pants bass bourbons, and it's available in half gallons. I speak of Evan Williams of course.

It’s thicker than I expected, there must be chambering going on there under the “top pieces”.

Evan Williams Single Barrel is fantastic, especially when you consider the price. But regular Evan Williams...uh...I'll pass.

 

[Vin Taj]

Nice bass and a nice selection of bourbons you got there.

+1
Very nice indeed

 

[micgtr71]

I think Elijah Craig makes a decent bourbon... very drinkable

 

[micgtr71]

Never played a Carl Thompson. It looks wonderful.

I actually don’t mind the Evan Williams black label. The single barrel is much better though...

Try taking a hacksaw to the upper horn, you could save another pound or two.

Then all those my-bass-is-lighter-than-yours guys can just go home!

Got this one direct so it was a bit less than 6k, LOL.

 

[Axstar]

Single malts only for me, I'm afraid...

Finally, somebody with some taste in this thread.

 

[chadds]

I’m reporting this thread! It’s completely derailed. It has non stop compliments.
The only thing remotely reasonable is the “mine is lighter than yours” phrases.
That’s not contentious that’s fact. Is this TB? I mean What!
