These close-up images showcase the intricate craftsmanship of a Carl Thompson Scroll Bass, a true icon in the world of boutique bass guitars. Built entirely by hand in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Thompson’s instruments are as much functional art as they are tonal powerhouses. His scroll basses—known for their distinctive violin-inspired upper horn—are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by collectors and serious players alike.
What sets this particular bass apart is its exquisite use of natural tonewoods, notably cocobolo, wenge, padauk, and possibly purpleheart, each selected for its tonal characteristics and visual contrast. The result is a layered, multi-laminate body that blends form and function with surgical precision. The carved horn and heel transitions show off seamless joinery and sculptural woodwork—there are no shortcuts here, only intention.
The pickups and control layout are minimal, allowing the organic tone of the woods to take center stage. Thompson’s basses are often customized per player, and every detail—down to the wooden pickup covers and knob choices—reflects an uncompromising aesthetic.
The scroll bass has become synonymous with players like Les Claypool of Primus, who famously uses Carl Thompson basses for their punch, clarity, and unique playability. This bass isn’t just an instrument—it’s a legacy, made by one man, in small numbers, with a cult following behind every build.
Seen here at Miki Gakki Bass Side in Osaka, this instrument stands out even in a sea of boutique beauties. For the discerning musician or collector, owning a Carl Thompson is not just a statement—it’s a lifelong relationship with a piece of musical architecture.

The exhibition is about the calligrapher Edward Thompson who brought the art of calligraphy back into art schools. He designed the font used by London Transport in 1916. It is still being used, with minor changes, a hundred years later.
