Never seen or even heard of that model. I wonder what the deal is with the cutout on the back. Kinda ruins it for me at that price point. |

Im guessing that's a battery compartment. There's a righty on Gbase that says it belongs to Janis Ian (you know that famous bass player  they are asking $4900 for it! http://www.gbase.com/gear/takamine-jani ... erry-stain Description states it has a tube preamp.(?)

Maybe the cutout on the back is to easily access a sound post, like on an upright bass? On an upright, when you remove all strings at once, the sound post will fall out of place (it's not fixed) and needs to be repositioned. Maybe the TB-10 has a sound post too. Just guessing though! |
