Details

This 2008 Carl Thompson "No Frills" bass features a bolt-on neck with 29 frets and a 32" string length. Serial # is 61108. A mahogany neck is combined with a poplar body. The fingerboard is blood wood.

The electronics on this bass consist of a single Kent Armstrong pickup and a standard CT passive circuit. The frets have no wear. This bass has never been gigged and has only seen limited use in a non-smoking home studio. The bass plays beautifully, the action is set very low with no buzzing, and the strings are brand new.

I have a 100% positive feedback rating here and on eBay (bassdroid) and I promise a quick, accurate, and thoroughly responsible transaction. To insure a safe transaction for everyone, I only accept PayPal or a U.S. Postal money order.

Asking price is $2400, which includes insured UPS ground shipping within the CONUS. This bass will be wrapped securely in thick bubble wrap and foam and will be shipped without a case. I can include a hard shell case if desired for an additional $100.

Not interested in trades.

My bathroom scale says 4 lbs. - maybe a little inaccurate, so give or take a 1/2 lb. It's definitely a featherweight.
 
haha, 4 lbs. if that were the case, i could play 3 of those simultaneously instead of 1 of mine. not that i could afford 3. or even 1. until i hit the powerball, that is!

the no-frills is definitely my only option at this point. much love to CT.

no frills what does it mean? thanks
No Frills is Carl's concept for an entry level bass which retains some of his key elements of design like balance, weight, etc. No Frills basses typically feature a passive circuit, single pickup and bolt on neck. They lack the intricate laminates and woodwork found on his fancy basses.

i'm really shocked that this is still here at this price. i LOVE my 32" no frills. i was tempted to buy this one and sell mine since this is solid looking.

Me too. Most of the interested buyers wound up backing out for one reason or another. Seems like the market is pretty soft right now, but I'm a patient man!

For those of you who might be interested, here is a clip of me playing it: Maybe not the best demo, but enough to give you an idea.
