Buzz Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 [quote name='LukeFRC' post='190548' date='May 2 2008, 02:16 PM']Well i just went into my local soundcontrol (edinburgh) and their bass selection is actually better at the mo than normally! Nice VM Squire Jazz, 2 stingrays, 2 warwicks (even a second hand one) and some strange thing which had the same thing on the headstock as a trace T bass (but i forget what it was. oh and a 80's svt 3[/quote] A Lodestone? [url="http://www.lodestoneguitars.com/bass/primal-pro/index.asp"]http://www.lodestoneguitars.com/bass/primal-pro/index.asp[/url] I thought these were the thing of legends, I've been waiting since last year for them to make an appearance in stores.

They are an Ashdown company, and seem to have an RRP of a American Standard, which if they're built nicely and the wierd headstock isn't an issue, they're better specced.

I would rather buy the reissue of the T bass, or find a nice old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Given that they've got identical headstock designs, which I suspect are patented by Status, go figure. Then again, a new status T-bass is probably double the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 how did the t bass manage to make that headstock design look amazing and here it just looks so wrong? the shape of the whole thing doesnt work visually. Even a bongo is better looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
