My 2007 TRB was an 18th birthday present from my parents. It was my first professional bass and got be started off as a musician. I've got far too much sentimental value in my 2007 TRB to sell it. To be honest, I think the vintage 1980's one plays much nicer, and going by reviews, pretty much everyone else in the world agrees. I need to sell something just now as I'm financially too short and I have to many basses!
