1977(?) Travis Bean TB 2000 - Rare, All Original & Amazing Condition!
 

This bass is awesome. It's in unbelievable condition for being 35 years old, only a few nicks on it that I tried to picture. My 1998 Warwick has more dings on it then this bass. It plays like a dream, neck is very straight and fast. It's an aluminum neck which actually goes down the body, not sure if it's technically 'neck-thru'. The koa wood is beautiful, not sure my pictures do it justice!

I believe this is a 77 based off serial numbers of TB 2000s I've seen for sale (#815/1020). It could be a 76. I can't stress again how amazing the condition of this bass is in, the ones I've seen being sold are damaged and have replaced the tuners etc.

Included is the vintage 1977 Fender case.

I'll take better pictures in the day time outside soon!

Oh man. I wish I could.

I just jammed on it, I really wish I didn't have to sell it. Really rich tone, and the neck is seriously sick!

Amazing... My cousin has #415 - and he lives nearby in Breckenridge!

Bump for a classic!!!

Mmm, the holy grail.

Very Bill Wyman looking.

Woo! Go Colorado, and TB 2000s!

Ill be taking photos out in the sun, the koa is quite beautiful, my pics aren't doing it justice

That bass is both unspeakably ugly and unbelievably cool. If I had the coin I'd be all over it.

It is a very unique bass, the tone you get out of it is really amazing.

Dear lord, my dream bass! :(

When you see these in person, they're beautifully sculpted.

Bump for a classic. I owned #527 back in the late 70's. Bought it used with more nicks than this one, and that was 35 years ago! It was stolen out of my parked Dodge van, along with my car stereo in downtown Cincinnati in 1979. Walked in a local music store 5 years later and it was hangin' on the wall. Luckily, I had made a police report and they had to give it up to me. The store owner was not happy until I traded it on an Acoustic 220 amp on the spot. These are not light instruments and my shoulder said "NO!, not again!" Great tone out of these, though. They were pooty magnets in their day. Good luck!

That's some good karma!

Bump for an incredible bass!

Watched Bill Wyman in the 'Start Me Up' video this morning... Damn that TB looked amazing!

Someone posted a pic of him playing his TB and it looks very similar to this one. This bass has the same if not more sustain than a Modulus TBX I've played on, it's a remarkable instrument.

Bump! Taking offers on this incredible bass!

To the top!

BUMP! Long live the Travis Bean basses.
