My Carl Thompson Thread.

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

I've played the 4 string cirrus models and i almost bought one at DJM.... wonder how the 5 string/fretless versions are..

i just thought it was cheap for a pretty high end neckthrough bass.

and i have enough 4 strings. :wink:

wow...i played a 5 String Cirrus couple days ago.

Awesome bass. It's the first bass that i have played in a while that made me want to buy it right then. I haven't had that feeling ever since i got the Conklin

i think i wanna replace my corvette with a flea, because i played my mentors musicman again yesterday, and it has alot more slapping room, and i like the humbucker slap tone better. and the flea has a very similiar tone to a musicman right?

ive thought about makin my corvette a fretless and then gettin a used quantum...thats about the most realistic kickass move for my at this point. i dont think a fodera is too realistic

i like the positioning of the pickup, and the tone. i dont like the design, and the neck seems a bit to thick.

thicker than a corvette? i find that hard to believe that you think its too thick if you have a corvette and dont have a problem with that neck.
