After some minor miscues with shipping, I got my TBC Single-M today.
Believe the hype.
Just like everyone else says, the bass is light with a fantastic neck. It is wider than my Ibanez but it's just about as thin and plays very fast.
The tone is fantastic! Sounds scooped like an MM but because of the chambered body, there is a resonance that keeps if from sounding too metallic. It's almost like a really good wine -- complex with a number of subtleties that make it enjoyable.
I'll add my voice to the chorus: You simply can't go wrong with one of these bassses -- especially at the price.

Congrats!!!
As to your wine analogy, I am sure you will find that it gets better with time!

yay!
glad you like yours Iota, I would have felt somewhat responsible if you hadn't.
That's great to know. For a while I felt bad about missing out on your TL Sig but something kept telling me to hold off -- I think this TBC was a worthwhile wait.marwady said:
LOL -- you were the main culprit in convincing me that this was a bass worth buying. Those folks at TBC ought to be paying you a commission!klocwerk said:
Hmmm ... I've seen nothing but love for TBC basses on here. Are there nay-sayers that I haven't run across?PasdaBeer said:
Congrats, Iota. I'm happy you got it and you like it. Off subject, I will mention that I saw some nice Fernandes basses today that had MM style humbuckers but were passive. They were priced at $269 with a gig bag and they really nailed the Stingray tone, and I do mean they nailed it. This model seems to be discontinued, when I looked on the Fernandes website, they had another SR copy that looks much more like the real thing. I don't need it, but I am tempted!
good news
well for me anyway
i just got the email and darrell fixed my bass and it is on it way back to me. ive got the new bass jitters all over again and ive already played the bass.

Got my very own 4 string JJ yesterday and absolutely love the thing. It's my first bass and I can't put it down and when I do I can't stop looking at it. Will post pictures in a couple days I need to borrow a camera.
Only thing is I would like to get some better strings, anyone have any recomendations?

does anybody know anything about this custom shop that they plan on opening? i'm very intrigued with this company and they seem to make a great product with a lot of positive support.
I just talked to Darrell yesterday.
They recently closed their plant in China, and are relocating. They're currently waiting for the owner to decide where that is, and then they'll find a new space and gear up again. He also elluded to something else in the works, but wouldn't tell me more.

P/J bass... P/J bass... P/J bass... P/J bass...
i'm interested in their basses but can't find much info on the web. wish i could try one. how much do the basses weigh? i'd really like a 35" 4 string mm if there is one.
all the specs that exist are on their website, http://www.thebasscompany.com
Course we have no clue what they're going to come back with after setting up a new factory, maybe all new models, maybe they'll just roll up the same ones again.
As long as they keep the same neck profile I'd be happy either way.

Picked up my AP-500 M from work today. Haven't really got to play is very thoroughly since I have no amp but it looks killer. The gig bag is also really nice. Pics to follow if I can find a camera anywhere. Will probably be picking up an amp this weekend so I will have more to say once I can actually hear myself playing.
I received my AB-500M last week Thursday. I have not gotten a chance to work with it, but I did get to practice last night with it. What a great bass. Well balanced, awesome tone, great playability. I do not know if I like the 16 Degree radius, but I was able to play it well.
I need to have it set up for my style, but it is set very well.
There are couple of finish things that if I am being really picky I notice, but they don't effect the payability of the bass.
Most of all, I played it though my practice amp (Yorkville RB400) and it sounded fantastic. Loud, Clean, distinct and well worth the very little money I paid.
Most important to me was the customer service. Fantastic!!! Call the phone number and Jack answers "Hello"... A company that is people. No voice automated crap.
AAA+++ In my mind and when the start up again in MO, I will be calling to get one of the AM made ones. This time it will be a AB-500MM or maybe a 6'er??? Hmmmm Maybe
