Traveler Guitar Adds Duncan Designed Pickups to TB-4P Bass
Traveler Guitar has expanded on their original TB-4P bass with the introduction of a new finish and Duncan Designed MM-01 Pickup. The new model sports red finish with a pearloid pickguard.

$750 for a toy? Who is buying this crap?
I picked one up used at GC for $300. They now go for $500 new and I think they are worth that price (better if found used). Great for taking to places where I can practice – outdoors or anywhere. Has great headphone and mp3 jacks that sound good. I plug my phone into the aux-in jack and play along with tracks. This bass also sounds real good when plugged into an amp. It is also small and easier to transport – 32 inch scale. I think this is a good purchase.
