Kongo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='663422' date='Nov 24 2009, 07:58 AM']Just to reiterate... I didn't say this is a fake. I don't think anybody else did either. I can safely say it is definitely not a production TRB though. The hardware, battery covers, neck fixing etc. all look correct but I've never seen a neck quite like that or pickups of that type in a TRB. The body actually looks like a TRB1006 but with the battery cover etc. from the more expensive Japanese model. All in all it's very strange - doesn't make it a bad bass though.[/quote] That being the case he DID state it's a prototype model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kongo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='664750' date='Nov 25 2009, 09:27 AM']Now you mention it... this does look a lot like a TRB-JP... ....with presumably a custom body. Which could make the thing very interesting and unusual.[/quote] Ah NO! It's got that bloody lower horn "Slap scoop"......Keep that away!!!

I'm sure prospective purchasers will look at the pictures and judge for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
