Gwilym Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 These basses are fantastic, I had one for a while, but went in my 4 string bass clear out. I probably should have kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 this is a steal for a fantastic bass - i love mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I know most BCers will know but for those that do not, these basses were made for Trace by Rob Green (Status Basses) in the mid to late 90s. Thety are of exceptional quality as you would expect from Rob. The headstocks are quirky and take a bit of visual "getting used to", but are very functional. The laid back stock design is still a feature on some of Robs current Status range and appear on Mark Goodays (Trace Elliot ex MD) range of Lodestone basses. Ive played both the T Bass and the Lodestone, they are excellent instruments. This is an exceptional price for this bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmpires Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have on of the 98' series in Cherry red and they are trully fantastic instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I would be all over this if I was not *sort of* in the process of buying another bass. Lovely lovely bass, in immaculate nick... I remember perving about these when they first appeared in Bassist magazine ages ago. Have a free bump, even if it is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Always loved the tort guards on these - different take on a classic look, works so well against white too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Can't seem to shift this fella at all, and such a rare instrument, too. Getting some insulting offers on ebay as well. I'd keep her but I need to fund another purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 It's bizarre, isn't it? Very rare and people bit your hand off a few yaers back if they popped up on evilbay. Not now, though. Don't get it. I had lost of foreign interest but these geezers wouldn't pay the freight/insurance I stipulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about quality gear is that if it doesn't sell this week it might next week. Hold on to it a put it up again in a few weeks/months. Classic case of this is the EKO BX7 from Portugal which is up for grabs (yet again). Nice bass, wrong price!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there have been insults and demands: Some guys want to pay buttons for frieght, meaning next to no insurance, but I'd bet that wouldn't preclude them from pulling a 'chargeback' stint on paypal if the bass got lost/damaged in transit. And, k'now what? Your right! This T-bass is a great bass at the wrong price: myself and Paul N are asking too little. The bass stays and the savings will have to get raided. Again!

paul n Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 im thinking the same mate to be honest ive had people say please hold it for a week or can i swap it for something? i put a price and an explination as to why i wanted money not px all i've had so far are time wasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 TBH, there's no harm done in asking for a trade and neither have I had any insulting offers here; Basschat isn't like that. Ebay is, however. If I were you, mate, I'd keep the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul n Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 no i dont mind but i did tell people that i wanted the cash no trade yet i have had people ask me more than once if i will accept things like laptops and the like for it thats what has frustrated me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
