Official Carl Thompson basses club thread

Thanks! I remember seeing it years ago and thinking, "if I ordered a fretless four string, it would be that." Then it was available a yearish ago and I couldn't pass it up. It makes me want to pick it up and practice, which is always a good thing. It already has a fretted twin so I'm looking to get a fretted "cousin" when my name comes up in the queue.


I have the twin and Id be open to swapping it for a different comparable 32" CT so that you can reunite them without me being down a CT

Went to Kelvin Daly's workshop a few weeks ago and got this. He's a very nice fellow and I love the bass. Already pondering another.

I am all about reuniting them. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled should one pop up we could make a swap over. If you feel like you can let it go when your 32" 5 string is completed please please PLEASE get a hold of me first as I truly would love to reunite and keep them together. I have every intention of never getting rid of this guy. I would not hesitate keeping them together for good!

Congratulations! When did you place your order? I'm curious where in the build queue mine is at this point. You probably saw my neck (flamed Mahogany) when you were in the shop.

would love to see more pics. Congrats!!!
Seconded!! Let's see that unique headstock :)

I got an Essence. It is not quite as fancy as his regular models but still pretty dang nice. Mine is on the right.

Here is Kelvin's instagram announcement about the Essence line. I just happened to be visiting the area and he had the bass available.

CT out means CT in…very strict policy in my house.
