Samashton12 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I finally paid out for one after about 6 months of being on the fence. It's looks so nice and plays really well. Bought it on Basschat courtesy of PaulPirie8 for £150 including a hardcase. Some pictures below : Yin & Yang There is a small crack in the neck & its been sanded down to see the extent of the damage but its really minor: All in all a brilliant purchase! Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Nice score. I have the same in a natural finish. Lovely bass, delivering waaaaay more than it's paltry market value suggests in both playability and tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'll let you know tomorrow when i get a good play on it in a band setting. First impressions are that they are incredibly similar, although I favour the bridge on the Pro more than the 3 point bridge on the Classic. I love them both to pieces though, so it's incredibly hard to say a bad word about either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 £150 incl the case is one heck of a good buy. I had one for a while and it was really very nice. Just didn't suit my waistline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not had a chance to play Classic Pro yet, but the Pro I tried a few years ago was IMO massively underwhelming. Just another budget Korean active bass with a hugely over-inflated price tag due to the body shape and name on the TRC.

White Cloud Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 That bass looks great in black, congrats. FYI the crack is in the classic T bird weak spot...the scarf joint where the headstock is glued to the neck. Seen one or two birds with this before.

bassmachine2112 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 hiho,I,ve got a black pro 1V and it,s a great bass and the bridge is great. I,d get a classic if they done them in black with the pro bridge as well but I,ll stick with the pro 1V for now unless one comes up at a bargain price . I,ll be keeping the pro though.
