But bought it back a few years ago. One of the pickup covers is removed in the years I did not own it.. I'm wondering if the pickup was replaced. Is there a way to tell if this is the origonal pickup?Any way to obtain a pickup cover?-Randy http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/a94cceda3d357414e0647548748927ea/thread/Pickups/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#a94cceda3d357414e0647548748927ea http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/5AJLFYTuj0g/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/dbcc5814e03faa4b4858f71cf62c650a/thread/TB-1000S---141/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#dbcc5814e03faa4b4858f71cf62c650a I was at the Philly Guitar Show yesterday and methodically went up one row/one side at a time looking for a Bean. #141 was the last guitar at the show.The dealer said that he's had it for about two weeks and that it is a refinish. From the dealers website: �Natural finish over magnolia body, all original pickups, parts, etc. The inside of the control cavity is black, so this was probably a refin natural - but it's a pro job and does not look like most refins�After looking at the Database, I thought I got the number wrong. Then I saw the photo that had the two screws in the pickguard � same guitar.The main reason for this post is to note how surprised I was at how different that neck was form my Bean.(and also as an FYI to Hank) The 143 neck was identical to an old Les Paul I had � baseball bat --- I loved it and love 143. As soon as I got home I checked my Bean and it's neck is tapered and at the 1st fret is thin ... kind of like an SG. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/dbcc5814e03faa4b4858f71cf62c650a/thread/TB-1000S---141/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#dbcc5814e03faa4b4858f71cf62c650a http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/XzA1JrQvWuE/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/59cd546a8aa8519b66b7ec34c20d5fe5/thread/scandinavian-twang/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#80dc94f76e145e8bffab05820c7be724 Hi, Does anyone use a Dr. Z amp (as in the post above - Lars gets such a great sound )?

All of them had serial numbers. One guitar, a Koa Artist, doesn't have the serial number stamped on the headstock but on the back of the neck at the base where the strings come through. It also has "Made in the USA" stamped there as well.In the production notes on the first page of the TB500 section, there is a note that says something like "Marc has un-numbered magnolia". There is a scan of that page somewhere around here. It's also possible that when the shop shut down there were some un-numbered necks that were auctioned off.

That is just a standard Kramer 650G, which was known as their 'artist' model. It was the top of the line model for the initial series of Kramer guitars. They are quite nice, and that one in particular is in very good shape, but it is certainly not a one of a kind or anything. Who knows for sure about the ownership aspect of that particular guitar...it doesn't seem that it would matter much as it supposedly belonged to an executive and not a famous player or anything.I would imagine that guitar would realistically go for $900-$1400.That seller is completely out of his/her mind. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c3458a70db41597057dd3a7570e05063/thread/Artisto-Kramer-on-ebay--what/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#d8f0545f9327c42ad1190e87a50f6759 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/2dCE6YqwnOY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/d4e5e7ee8a20220f90a04ad124bae4e8/thread/White-Artist-photos/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#f5dc98bceb0d0c4d91797e1d6503202a Pretty! http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/d4e5e7ee8a20220f90a04ad124bae4e8/thread/White-Artist-photos/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#f5dc98bceb0d0c4d91797e1d6503202a http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/L4Z1hZY6c3s/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c224d4596cd1d9d76c4bca9675fc0484/thread/Wyman-Bass/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#0dc04dacf21371f3b7dd7893f6c03f32 Interesting to see Keith playing a 6-string 500 instead of a 5-string. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c224d4596cd1d9d76c4bca9675fc0484/thread/Wyman-Bass/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#0dc04dacf21371f3b7dd7893f6c03f32 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/I2QSgEmSj4g/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/fd72c5267e7bb1b961b6d188dbd072a1/thread/TB500-and-TB2000-front-loading-basses/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#528d6021b1fac15589d8e08bc2c0003f This one mentions the 500 guitar:"I worked for Travis from around 76-77 until closing. It was I that put those bitchin finishes on the guitars and basses as well as the black necks. I worked with Pat (James) and Frank. I came out of there with some very custom basses and guitars. Pat, I don't know if you remember the body style I designed with the long horn and you painted silver, It's now red. Also the 500 bass that had the same body style with the drop in neck that never made it to production cuz we closed, I still have that as well."
