Thanks! I'm more than pleasantly surprised with the deal as a whole. The TNT 130 is a great sounding amp!

I really like the construction and woods.

Those 70's Japanese neck-throughs are monsters. Is the pickup a DiMarzio?

Damn, that thing is beautiful!  And an amp with it?  You made out like El Bandito.

Late to the party, but very cool. I wonder if mine would look like that if I stripped it down.
If it was good enough for Danny Bonaduce, it ought to be good enough for fake bass players everywhere!

Probably not. If it were appearance grade, with or without a veneered top, it would probably have had a transparent or semi-transparent finish. Only one way to find out, though.

Is yours a Don R. Miller bass, then?

That TNT-130 will probably last forever!

I had one way back when I was 15, and could not get a sound I liked out of it, but I have no way to judge how much that had to do with being 15 :)
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

I loved those Peavey combo amps back then.  I used a Combo 300 for years and years.  In the late 90's I used a Mark VIII head with a Peavey 410 cab.

I think that other neck through bass is a J.B. Player, Denis.

I have a minty mid 80's that can be yours if you are feeling that nostalgic.  They do respond well to a sans amp.
