I havent seen one for Resale lately, but I did recently put in an order for a Rainbow 6 with Carl.

The Resale on 6ers have been ridiculous in price these days tho! Almost criminal....lol

Your collection of CTs is ridiculously amazing!

Thanks Mike!

Criminal is a good way to put it.

Just here to say I have two perfectly awesome Foderas and this thread is the first thing to make me say “oooooooohhh...” in a LONG time. (In a bass context anyway.)

I always loved that there was no Carl Thompson club, but if @Aaronbeh started it...then it's legit!

Here's my pair (w my Rob Allen):

...I've got a 32" scale 5 stringer (E > C) on order as well. Good to see some familiar names I haven't seen in a while. Hello friends!

I spoke to Carl yesterday, he said they’ve started cutting the wood for my new bass.

Aaron, thanks for getting this started, great idea. By the way, the website is looking really good...don't change a thing. I noticed you were updating things over the last few weeks....a catalog of the work takes a lot of time, be assured we're all very appreciative.

8118 has been on the forum before so nothing new here. I ordered another bass back in May, a 5 fretless........Jango...Cosmic, don't get too cozy! Muntner.....I'm watching you.

Have a great day folks!

Ive got nothing on you Kello brutha. Scientist are baffled and cant figure out if its your bass playing or beard that is causing a global pandemic of mass pregnancies.....

Yeah I'm just a couple months in on #2, I'm patient.

We all are.

Good things come to those who wait...and you should never rush this kind of magic. When it's ready and it's your turn...it's ready and it's your turn and you will be thankful. This isn't my first rodeo, but man do I get excited when a new batch gets started....even if I'm not in it, progress is progress. And practice makes progress.

Hi all, here is mine: semi-frills body/full-frills neck. Somehow it weighs just under 6.5 lbs.

 

[JPMcGuire]

Cool. Was that a special order for the full frills neck? What's the difference?
