What is the standard scale/neck length for TB2000 basses? #219 has a scale length of 23 1/2" to the top of the brass nut and a neck length of 28 1/2" to the top of the headstock.Thanks. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c5c47830bb5653952964f9ffd18b7ccf/thread/TB2000-219-Short-Scale/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#c5c47830bb5653952964f9ffd18b7ccf http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/-WnkaL1mIeI/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c4c5ad9b3c0928da27f6e495a7aadae6/thread/Greg-Lake-s-TB1000S/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#a20b574b75b33f5bfaecb0d2d39a22bc I'm reasonably sure that it's the same one I delivered to his equipment manager just before they were to play at the Long Beach Arena. Kenny Smith was his name I believe. Journey was opening for ELP and we got there about the middle of their set. Those 2 toggles were individual coil splitters which I still remember wiring up. I'm sure the body was Koa. While we were backstage, my buddy ventured unchallenged into the VIP area and wound up drinking wine with Keith Emerson until they went on. All this, while I timidly waited outside the restricted area and missed out completely. My friend knew then what it took me years to learn: It's ALWAYS better to ask forgiveness than permission http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c4c5ad9b3c0928da27f6e495a7aadae6/thread/Greg-Lake-s-TB1000S/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#a20b574b75b33f5bfaecb0d2d39a22bc http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/sbS7przTurY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c82d68ae9339ec022a81096ce6fa5e34/thread/Artist-Parts/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#2c31673641ee4d04135786f3aa8d092b I would think it best to sell as one piece, keeping the guitar together, as originally intended, and appealing to a buyer who would want to return it to proper form. There aren't a whole bunch out there so it would be great to see it back in one piece. I'd buy it! http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/c82d68ae9339ec022a81096ce6fa5e34/thread/Artist-Parts/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#2c31673641ee4d04135786f3aa8d092b http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/K4c8EevsGnM/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/ce3c3392c71921c95d3c6a759018e613/thread/Has-anyone-ever-seen-a-thin-TB1000S-in-white/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#376131a29cc68df7f60a411f4f8d6625 Yeah, I used to have a thin Artist body I bought on ebay. It was number 1274. I've seen quite a few painted TB bodies and this looked original. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/ce3c3392c71921c95d3c6a759018e613/thread/Has-anyone-ever-seen-a-thin-TB1000S-in-white/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#376131a29cc68df7f60a411f4f8d6625 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/2if8go9r-us/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/9732ae494953a03c3988b70acd0c600f/thread/Keith-Levene-has-re-acquired-his-TB/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#9732ae494953a03c3988b70acd0c600f As we all know, legendary guitarist and composer Keith Levene (founding member of PiL and The Clash) is responsible for some truly original riffs off TBs. Keith is very active on social media, and recently announced he has once again required a much-loved Bean. Keith's pretty stoked about it and went so far as to say, "the Valeno is ok for Leveno, but truth be told you can't beat Levene with his old Travis Bean!" :)https://mobile.twitter.com/missingchannel/tweets http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/9732ae494953a03c3988b70acd0c600f/thread/Keith-Levene-has-re-acquired-his-TB/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#9732ae494953a03c3988b70acd0c600f http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/pZvZnd_09XA/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/f4ba7e79d5ab1dabeea110cc58a466e6/thread/Paging-Mr-Gallo/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#b2b56255f365c7cc58f7c9640107c344 http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/f4ba7e79d5ab1dabeea110cc58a466e6/thread/Paging-Mr-Gallo/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#b2b56255f365c7cc58f7c9640107c344 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/pXMVeEibvs4/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/2af28d95f93d40d82d2de302156e29ba/thread/Ski-Bean-why/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#51a2cb79ea01259cd91d395032789c6f Because there's always a jackass with a bad idea that fucks up someone else's good idea. I stand by the idea that if it didn't come factory, don't add it. Rather that be guitars or rims on an old charger. The OEM builder always does it better. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/2af28d95f93d40d82d2de302156e29ba/thread/Ski-Bean-why/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#51a2cb79ea01259cd91d395032789c6f http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/MTxThsioleY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/fd252435890e89d20627aa1c3ed185a2/thread/Bean-recording/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#468752061eb13ae6baab21cc69210be6 Well, I enjoyed it!

FYI...If you are interested in Keith, you should check him out on Twitter @missingchannel or email him at info@keithlevene.com. He has been very active responding to fans questions since the final MBiD show in Japan about a month ago. He's answering all sorts of questions...for instance: he recorded the Slab with a Prophet 5 synth as in what he used in Careering. I always presumed he employed some classically-trained cellist or violinist at Park South Studios. He's also been emailing never before heard tunes on request and is talking about plans for more shows in 2013.
