bagsieblue Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) John Illsey - Dire Straits - December 1998! EDIT: - Actually that is the Special Edition Version of the T Bass, thought the review and pics were not quite as I remembered. So, also in........ Edited May 9, 2015 by bagsieblue Quote
bagsieblue Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 1995 ....Volume 1, Issue 11 - Andrew Levy. (they don't make the magazines like they used to). Quote
bagsieblue Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 ......strange thing is that I don't think that is the review I remember either. Niggling feeling that there is another review somewhere, probably in a Bassist Magazine, but that would make 3 reviews.... Quote
jonnythenotes Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I remember vaguely a review on the T bass before it was released, and I am sure it was a sort of dark green prototype. Shortly after that, they released the SE version (Special Edition.) On the strength of that review, I bought a T bass from Musical Exchanges in Birmingham, which I still have, and it cost me 12 hundred quid.. They made 100 of these on the very first run in a five string, in a lovely Sea Foam Green,.(not sure about the four string.) Made quite a few after that run in various colours, but never really took off. Shame as they are nice bits of kit.. Quote

I remember looking through the pages of bassist magazine wondering how I would ever afford anything I lusted after... Quote

There's a fantastic full transcription of Norman Watt-Roy's Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick bassline in it Edited May 12, 2015 by miles'tone Quote
