No worries, there is sure to be someone out there that will have this!

I am willing to negotiate a price

[quote name='charic' post='75503' date='Oct 17 2007, 11:38 AM']How much does this cost as new out of interest? What kind of styles of music does it suit? Can this be used for metal? I could do with a decent backup bass and this looks the nuts! Oh yeah and what details can you possibly give me on the neck? Is it like a warwick? A jazz? A P? ETC[/quote] I bought this brand new, from a second party as the company don't ship to the UK. This is one of a handful that are in the UK. I've yet to see another on basschat! TBC are now producing their basses in the US, the guy is literally only making one of each model every month. They are priced at $400 now brand new, so including shipping to the UK and VAT/customs charges i think you could get a brand new one for about £350 direct from the US, i think he even ships to the UK now. The chinese made ones are exactly the same as the american ones, he will use the same parts and everything, the only difference now will be it is assembled by a couple of American blokes rather than a dozen Chinese folk. I guess i would have to compare the 2 basses side by side to be able to give an accurate comparison of the two tho' I myself use the bass for metal, i have recorded all of my bands tunes on it: www.myspace.com/sternchase The neck is a very similar profile to that of a Jazz bass, might be a wee tad thinner... Hope that helps.

I am still looking to sell this. Since originally posting the advert i have got a 6 string so I don't have as strong an interest in the TBC now. I will maybe accpet trades or part-exchanges but ideally i am looking for £250

If i was looking for another 4 banger i'd have it Good Luck with the sale

Offers ?

I will include postage in the £250

[quote name='Bassassin' post='41465' date='Aug 5 2007, 01:16 AM']That's quite lovely for £250 & worth bearing in mind that if they'd ever imported these into the UK, they'd probably cost about twice that amount. Jon.[/quote] Your making me think i should perhaps hold on to it

I bought the bass from a guy in Seattle who was prepared to ship it to me He bought 10 of them from TBC apprently. This was un-used by him. I believe as soon as he bought them he sold the majority. This offer is still open btw

PM'd

Hi, As i am sure you know TBC offer perhaps unparalled value for money. The build and finish quality is that of something you'd expect on a £1000+ bass. There is so much to say about the bass, everything really is top quality. The electronics (namely the pre amp) can be improved on, some people even choose to make these basses passive. It is 22 frets Pau Ferro fretboard 3 piece quarter sawn hard rock maple neck 'midnight blue' (black) wood pickgaurd Chambered swamp ash body, bookmatched top 2 custom wound Jazz pups 3 Band EQ Vol/bass/mid/treb/blend pots These basses are no longer produced as far as i believe. TBC are moving all production to the USA now. This was one of the basses that was built by a TBC owned factory in China, that was manned by people employed by TBC. The only sign of use is on the pickgaurd, a scratch, it isn't very deep but just slightly in the varnish. I would probably be looking at £250 for this, this is a good bit less that what it cost me to get into the UK; with VAT, import tax, shipping costs and handling charges. Thanks for looking, Jamie
