Spending a long day laboring manually, having maybe a few too many drinks afterwords, only to come home to your newly strung Warwick Thumb BO 5* and play it for three hours. The best part is: the tone will be just as good when I wake up tomorrow. These are the moments when I am grateful I play bass. *or insert your instrument of choice. I hope this is appropriate for the basses subforum.
Wow... I forgot how picky people were outside of the effects forum. This is an old pic, sans new strings. I wish I had taken a macro shot of it because the figuring on the body of this bass is unlike any Thumb I've ever seen. I will get to that. And while I'm still talking about it, thanks to birdxofxprey for hooking a brother up with the bass I've been trying to obtain for the better part of a decade. Nothing against them, but this is definitely NOT and SX...
Every time I play my Lakland Skyline DJ4 I think "this bass was built specifically for my hands, my ears, and my style." Even though technically it was built in Korean machine shop along with 29 others just like it, to be sold in random shops throughout the world getting picked up and played by whoever the hell felt like it. Can't imagine how I'd feel if I ever ponied up for a US model.
I wonder what the ratio of Skyline DJ's is to Thumbs? Aside from where our respective basses were made, I think we share the same sentiment. Nope, too hungover to fight. But my bass does still sound damn good.
