ryancowell25 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) For Sale [color=red][size=4]Trace[/size][/color] [color=red][size=4]Elliot[/size][/color] T-Bass Special Edition made in 1998, part of a run of 100, with the following features: Body -Tulip Wood Candy Apple Red Neck -3 Piece Maple and graphite Fingerboard- Rosewood Nut-Graphite 34" scale 24 fret I bought this from Cocco very recently but have a hankering for something else up on the boards at the moment. It has a brand new set of R.Coccos on it and plays perfectly fine but in the spirit of full disclosure it does have the following issues - When it arrived the active preamp was not working - Cocco informed me that this happened in transit so it just needs a look over with a soldering iron. The bass works perfectly fine in passive mode. I have used for a live theatre gig and there were no issues what so ever. The bass has obviously been worked previously so there are some cosmetic dinks, nothing major, but its certainly not straight out of the factory. If it was not for another potential purchase I would certainly be keeping this as it does play great. A lovely example of a super Jazz. Hopefully this is all reflected in the price as i'm asking for £400 delivered in original Trace Elliot Hard case. I have some pictures from the original sale I can e-mail you so PM me your e-mail address if your intereseted. Tomorrow I will post up some proper ones when I get some new pictures.

dmccombe7 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Would be nice to see this. I had no idea Trace made basses. Dave

ryancowell25 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 It's a four string. Made by Status for Trace Elliot. As mentioned there were some limited runs in the mid to late 90's
ryancowell25 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 On hold all ready - seriously this must be a record
Chris2112 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Some of the best jazz basses you can get your hands on, at any price!
Thornybank Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 £400 was a snip. I have had 3 4s and 2 5s. All white or blue. vurra naisse

Each colour was a "limited run", but the actual "limited edition" was the first one, to mark a Trace Elliot anniversary, so the basses were finished in Trace's corporate green (so not to be confused with the trans teal green ones).

MB1. "Twelvety!" seem to think the British racing green ones were limited to 15 to mark the anniversary... and the other colour/s were limited to 50 on the original run?

Again, with each of the runs I've heard different figures (perhaps, again, with disinformation about how many fours and how many fives were made). Which of the colours were the originals? The trans red, blue and green, the solid black and off white, and the natural?
LukeFRC Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 the originals were 1996, this is 1998 so must be a different run...?
jezzaboy Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Well, I owned a black one, serial number 101. Great bass, fantastic sound just a bit too radical in the styling department for me. A sort of Uber Super Jazz. £400 is a good price. Jez
gareth Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1326894566' post='1503318'] This used to be mine, it's amazing! [/quote] +1
dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Googled it last night and was quite impressed by the look of it. Afraid i don't need another bass though. Dave
dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 That was quick. Did seem to be a pretty fair price though. All best Dave
ryancowell25 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks Dave to be transparent the price reflects the condition and i'm very fussy about basses.
Stag Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Always wanted to try one of these out after seeing the review for them in Bassist mag (remember that?)... Looked really cool to me!
