CP Thornton Club

It just means I want one also. When I saw the basses with the thumbrests posted on this thread it stirred something inside me and I new I wanted one. It's difficult to let these things go when they're done, granted I need the money to survive and build more but it's still hard putting them in a shipping box and seeing FedEx drive away with them.

Chuck,
I had not thought about how difficult it must be to seal these boxes and call for a pick up!! Each of your instruments are a technical and artistic masterpiece, works of art. I think there should be a Thornton fest in Portland, ME annually where owners and "pre-owners" can meet, talk, view, and play your instruments!! But then you could have a joyous reunion with some of your most favorite "children"!
I would bring both of my basses and perhaps I know two other gentleman who would bring several, if not many, guitars!!
I am good with ideas but not with the details after that, but truly would be glad to participate!!

i love cherry burst finishes but that white blonde finish chuck does is amazing. Most pics don't do it justice. Of course I'm biased and think I have the most beautiful Thornton bass but I think we all think the same thing! I love variety and having basses all different finishes and colors and woods but if I get another Thornton I may go with the same finish. It's that good!!!!!

Well, the last two Sundays I didn't play my CP Thornton in service and I felt like I wasn't fully into it. This coming Sunday the song selected is Holy Is The Lord (C. Tomlin) and I wanted to play my Zon fretless but I'm taking the CP Thornton to see if I can come away feeling totally drenched in the spirit.

Yes Nightman, I thought you might like to have consecutive serial numbers so when you told me you were interested in this Cherry Burst I gave it serial #B-031. I love how the burst came out.

Well, this Sunday I played my CP Thornton and was thoroughly engaged in the spirit of the music, that is until the end of service make-up-a-song-on-the-spot moment one of our keyboard players likes to do. Please don't try for force that boring repetitive I - III - IV - Vb - V - VI - VIIb - VII progression on my CP Thornton!!! :rollno:
It knows how to create a much better groove bass line than that!!! :thumbsup:

Played/hosted a jam this weekend. There were 2 CP Thornton Basses and another 2 CP Thornton guitars. All sounded great and the basses had a nice warm even tone (through my rig, which is great for comparison). Like many folks around here I got the CP itch I'm looking to scratch soon.

#31 is gorgeous.

I bet that was a blast seeing and hearing all of those CP Thornton guitars jamming in one place!! I wish there were pictures to share with us. :thumbsup:

That #031 is 3 days away from being a NBD for me!! :hyper: I don't know what I'm going to do with all of these other basses with my two CP Thornton basses!!!
