Clarky Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Wonderful, high-end arch-top electric bass cum EUB. Features the Cooltube preamp and piezo pickup, which together make it sound very DB-ish. Can be played horizontal, with strap, or fully upright on a supplied brass pin. Curved ebony board - a la DB - so can even be bowed. Previous owner @Happy Jack had his luthier inset big side dots on the side of the board to aid in intonation (a godsend, AFAIAC). Comes with amazing looking but heavy-as-heck faux snakeskin hard case and a much more gig-friendly Tm and Will padded cello case. Asking £1500 collected or meet up in or close to SW13 area (south of Hammersmith Bridge). No delivery I am afraid given the bulk of the bass plus two cases/bags. Here's an example of me playing it upright on the pin (always draws lots of comments): https://www.facebook.com/wilybo/videos/velvet-windows-the-wily-bo-walker-acoustic-band/2424423044506352/ Specs: https://www.takamine.com/TB10 Edited June 29, 2022 by Clarky 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Ah now, that's a lovely thing, and brings back many happy memories. I only sold it because I commissioned a custom uber-longscale 5-string Safran Iris bass, which rather left the TB-10 redundant. Whoever gets this one is in for a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hey Chris, afraid not, I already have a decent EUB (Azola) and its either the Takamine or the Azola going, to leave me with one EUB. I am cutting back to reflect the realities of my band/gigging situation. A few years ago I was in three different bands, playing different styles (acoustic and electric), now its just occasional gigs with Wily Bo.

Beedster Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Know the feeling mate, I was aiming to keep an EUB to take to gigs as backup if I'm having any issues (feedback/space/mechanics) with my DB, but I've been thinking about a TB-10 for a while also in that context - glorious instruments and a little more versatile than even the best EUB IMO. I might have to have a good look at my bank account......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
