CHRISDABASS Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Very tempted to get one of these! follow the below link, go to the online shop section then go to stock basses then to t-bass (couldn't get a direct link to work) [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/carts3/frames/frame3.htm"]http://www.status-graphite.com/status/cart...ames/frame3.htm[/url] has anyone played one? thoughts and comments are welcome Edited January 14, 2009 by CHRISDABASS Quote
Merton Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I played the old Trace Elliot-branded wooden-necked T-bass a loooong time ago, lovely it was. I bet Rob has surpassed that with these though, would love one but it would kinda make my Retroactive J all upset and redundant! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I've played the stock one with the white pearloid pickguard a couple of times. It's an amazing bass. Very different to play, but ultra fast & a fantastic sound. Give Dawn a call & book a visit. You'll end up ordering something for sure! Rich. Quote

They look really interesting! trouble is its a bit too far to travel with me living in sunny old west yorkshire! other wise i'd love to try one out! one of the first basses to really get my GAS going since the Sadowsky's!

doctor_of_the_bass Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Rich is right! Have not personally played that actual bass but once you've tried one, you have to buy one! Me want dis one...! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) That's prototype KingBass Mk-II no.3 isn't it, Nick? That one's gone now. Rob was telling me the other week! Hey Chris, I live directly east of you. It's a day's travelling, for sure, but only about 200 miles. I usually go down in the am & get there about lunchtime. No problems The factory is well worth a visit. Edited January 15, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Quote

neilb Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Robs place is 20 minutes away fro me, oh the pain!! Ashdown are the same, roughly. Trace were on my doorstep....oh to be a bassist and live in Central Essex. Now, I must phone Rob and see about that Retro Jazz................. Quote
