brianh 395 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 It's a TB-1000S (Standard) which was the dot inlay version of the TB-1000A (Artist) which had block inlays. '09 price guide says $3,000 in low/ excellent condition, $3,700 in high. That one looks to be in fairly good, original shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thermionik 81 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Played one way back - real nice player but never got used to the cold feel of the neck. Came within a hairbreadth of buying it off the guy - but couldn't raise the cash. Here's some necks in the factory..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entertained the idea to buy it as an investment. But I don't invest in things I don't like. I liked the neck(allthough the "cool grip" is a odd sensation) but it was way too heavy for comfort.

flyingfrets 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Yup...Travis Bean. I never actually played one, but I'd heard a lot of good things about them (only complaint being the cold feel of the neck). Only player of note that I recall playing one was Jerry Garcia (mid to late 70s). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
