MarkG3 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 http://r.ebay.com/cyo07a I like the look of that! Anyone tried one out or got one? Quote
dannybuoy Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Cheaper if you cut out the middle man (i.e. eBay!) http://www.retrovibe.co.uk/t-rod/butterscotch-bass.html Quote
Marc S Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Not tried one myself, but have spoken to a guy who has an earlier Rick type Retrovibe (the ones that looked quite similar, before they were forced to change the design) - he reckoned that it is an amazing bass. Great build quality, but didn't sound quite Rick-like enough for him So he was intending to change the pickups.... Personally, I quite like the look of the retrovibe fretless P bass I wouldn't mind a try of one of those myself.... Edited February 25, 2016 by Marc S Quote
mikeycrikey Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I think this looks fantastic as does the super P Bass they also do Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I think I'll give this a go Edited February 26, 2016 by MarkG3 Quote
Coldflows Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I have a Retrovibe Renegade, insane value for money. Plus David who owns them is a super easy guy to deal with. Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Proud owner of Retrovibes Evo,Zygote,Super-P & the sadly discontinued RV4. Dave's a great fella to have dealings with, when I got the Super - P he suggested and fitted the coil tap switch for nowt. Now I'm planning on adding the Stinger preamp. Reckon the T-rod will be a belter. Quote
CustardFilled Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Can only repeat what kodiakblair said really, very happy with my Vantage and Dave was excellent to deal with! Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Put down a deposit. He said that he should be getting 2 in 7-10 days so I've secured one of them Quote
mcnach Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 If you like those, you may also want to consider a Mike Dirnt Squier Precision (got mine for under £100 used). Very nice and light too. The neck is pretty slim also if you like that, not at all Precision-like. Rosewood, 'though. I have one, but sourced a CV maple neck and replaced it. I also changed the pickup... the original is fine, but I liked these cheap Entwistle pickups better. It's a monster of a bass. Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 I used to have 3 Dirnt Fenders at the same time!!! One in black, one vintage white and the other sunburst. I loved them but sadly had to sell them. So really looking forward to getting this one! Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 I really regret having to sell the vintage white one, looked great and played great. So that's why I've gone for this, plus the maple neck just tops it off for me Quote
LewisK1975 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Thread revival!! To the OP - Mark G3, did you get the T-Rod? How is it? Quote
MarkG3 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 I did get it, sounds good and is really easy to play. Couldn't fault the finish or build in any way. So I'm really glad I got one, definitely is easier to play than my previous Fender Mike Dirnt basses, which were the original version. Thats not to say they aren't good, I would say for the price save money and get the t-rod over the fender. Looking at it, it's exactly the same apart from the name on the headstock! Quote
LewisK1975 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks for that, it's a great looking Bass for sure... Quote
paul h Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I've got an early Retrovibe and I love it. I am sorely tempted by the T-Rods. Very cool looking Quote
