guyl Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) A great bass - very playable - excellent tone and variety of usable sounds. I've really enjoyed owning the "Tribby". It has slotted into a variety of musical situations and always sits in the mix superbly. In the interests of disclosure, I should mention that if you hold it up to the light and look very, very carefully, there is is some superficial scratching to the finish. You need to look very hard though and it is not remotely obvious unless you are searching for it.

Thunderthumbs Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 As the former owner of this bass, I can vouch for it being a great bass and great value. Really versatile. Everything from a P-Bass to a J-Bass to a MM. Guy's a great person to deal with too. All the best with the sale Guy.
mcnach Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I own one of these, in natural, and it's indeed a fantastic bass. At £350 it's a great deal too! I paid a fair bit more for mine here in the forum, and I don't regret it because I think it's worth that and more. Beautiful too.

I should never have sold it to you £350 is a cracking price for one of these. Fantastic basses.

guyl Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Yes - thanks guys - great value and great sound. I'd be keeping it if I hadn't maxed out my overdraft on various gas-attacks!
daveyboy11122 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 SO SO SO tempted I'd HAVE to come and try this out. What're the differenced between this and a newer Tribute?

pantherairsoft Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Hey dude! Don't fancy chucking £900 in the case and trading with my Roscoe Century 6 Fretless? Can't hurt to ask

guyl Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the enquiries - still available. Edited July 25, 2011 by guyl
guyl Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Just got back from holidays and Tribute is still here. Thanks for the enquiries. Just to be really clear about the superficial "scratches" that I mentioned in my 1st post - it is practically nothing. Not visable unless you really search up close and with bright light. I was just trying to be ultra thorough for the benefit of anyone (like me) that buys basses without seeing them first! Great bass at £325.

garymilitia Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Fancy a trade on a MIM P bass by any chance?
dc2009 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Or a trade for my Dean perhaps? Listed on here, beautiful finish, really light and fantastic bartolini pickups?
guyl Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 No trades thanks guys. If I could use another bass then I'd be keeping this one. I just seem to to be using my upright, 6-string and fretless for all gigs, and could use the cash to pay for previous gas-attacks!
