FINAL PRICE DROP - I am not willing to go any lower on the price so please DO NOT ASK. The price will only increase over time so it’s not worth selling it for less.

I MIGHT be willing to part ex on a much cheaper instrument plus a lot of cash my way. I’d consider a Gibson Les Paul but pretty much nothing else. No amps please.

A rare chance to own a piece of rock history. This bass was previously owned by Dominic of the band MOGWAI.

My aluminium necked Travis Bean TB2000 bass is up for sale.

Fairly good condition, a few scratches here and there but plays like a dream and sounds INCREDIBLE. Stays in tune perfectly.

The aluminium neck goes right through the body (see pics of reverse) and the pickups rest on the neck, giving it a resonant, piano-like chime, with ample sustain.

The fretboard was replaced by Electrical Guitar Company (who own Travis Bean)

I have done a couple of small and very easily reversible mods to the instrument. I have bypassed the tone circuit internally for a brighter sound. I also swapped the neck and bridge pickups around because the neck one was brighter.

I am happy to reverse the mods if needed but it sounds better like this, trust me. I should say all original components are still intact inside the bass. The wires have merely been desoldered.

I am happy to deliver the bass anywhere in the U.K. within reason if paying the full price.

That’s the chap who owns The Zero Fret (boutique fuzz pedals) - also seems a fairly realistic price?

DO NOT ASK lol - well, list it somewhere populated by mostly twats and you have to deal with the consequences mate!

She it... if I was paying £3300 I'd want him to be hand delivering it... on a velvet cushion!

Weren’t TB basses being listed at £10k a while ago? Or was that just the weird Flying V (without the V cut out) guitars?

[AndyTravis]

Hmm. Listed for…not necessarily selling for.

I'm patently looking in the wrong (right) places as I saw one sell locally (NE) for about £1200-£1500 last year!

Oh, yes.  Oh, yes, yes, yes.
