Tomkins basses

[rusty66]

Just a quick thread to see if anyone else out there has a Tomkins bass (made by Allan Tomkins in Australia).
Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith is using them now as well as many Country artist's.
If you have one, show your pics & let us all know what you think of them.
Theres a small pic of my custom kimberley below to get the ball rolling.

Cheers

I have a mate with one, and I played it unplugged breifly once when he left it in my living room after a gig. Very nicely made, but not his (or my) cup of tea, but not because it's a bad bass, just we have different tastes to the style of bass this is.

What didnt you like about it, was it the styling or sound? (bit hard to hear unpluged i guess).

Styling. Very 'country Fender' which is OK if you like that. I'm more into modern designs.

Very nice fender style basses.
Think Lull, or Sadowski.
Lots of options.
Big price tag.
