I have a bunch of really nice basses...Suhr, Sadowsky, Status, Fender, etc...nothing like this bass. I've never heard a P bass sound SO good. And the neck is just something wondrous to behold.

it was part of a collector this bass is near new. Not a bargain but i want a Tyler since the 90's and in EUrope it is maby the only one, and a Stubenhaus is very rare !!!
I rarely comment on this forum and especially on anything related on Tyler basses but as a teen, I fell in love with the headstock shape and all my favourite bass players seemed to play Tyler at some point or another. So whenever I see a Tyler bass, I pay some extra notice. Today was that day, when I spotted one on YT, watching a Raging Honkies live from 1994 featuring Teddy Landau on a very unusual looking Tyler. Have a look.

Fellow club members, I'm going to be selling my James Tyler Custom 4-string. I'm letting the club know in case someone here wants a 4-string. I had Jim build it for me in 1999. Nice shape,
Carribean Burst, Barts, Demeter, stock with custom active passive switch and SIMS LED's. 8.8 lbs. Retired these days and only playing out a little. I've gotten way into Alembic basses in the past 3 years, after spending 20+ years with my Tyler as my main player.
Just wanting to revive this club for 2023. I’ve got two currently, including Neil Stubenhaus personal 4 string PJ with Industrial Radio synth built in. Also a 5 string 35” scale Spalt Top.
Hey by the way, if any of you happened to have owned this Blue PJ4 w Synth and maybe you still have the MIDI Splitter Box and 8 pin cable, I’d sure like to get it from you. Those are next to impossible to source these days.
11. MattB88 - 5-string spalt burst!
12. Hort Elvison - 4-string "vintage" PJ in seafoam
13. kraigg007 - 5-string spalt burst (under new ownership)
I have 2…both 4 strings. I have the third one made with custom wiring done by Jim and Tom Anderson. It’s got the best neck of any bass I’ve ever owned and a wild preamp section (I think they were working the preamp out when the built this) but I never play it…so it might go up for sale. I’ll post pics soon.
It’s very late 80’s, early 90’s looking but very cool. When I talked to Rich at Tyler’s shop he said “oh, you have the white one”. It’s my understanding that only like 34 Tyler basses were ever made but that seems low given the number of people I personally know that own one.

Former poster (and wicked bassist) bassarama had one of these and I had the chance to try it. It had hands down the most versatile and punchiest J-bass tone I have ever experienced. They are special

Rich at Tyler Guitars just told me they are starting to make 4 and 5 string basses again with the same custom Bartolini Quad Coil pickups and Demeter pre. That's all the info I have.
Really hoping they go back to the 34” scale
