ambient Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 A twenty one year old original model John Patitucci bass. [attachment=230483:14718877_580332012175064_6802446200429928455_n.jpg] I'm a huge John Patitucci fan, I've wanted one of these for ages. Physically it quite a large bass, but it is so comfortable to play. I picked it up on Tuesday evening after uni, and used it for a gig the following afternoon. Being one of the original models, it's a 34" scale, as opposed to the current JP2 basses which are 35". It sounds absolutely fantastic, deep, but at the same time very bright. Which is what they were aiming for I believe when they were designing it. It's incredibly beautiful looking, almost like a tiger . I just love the design of it, from the recessed flush mount strap buttons, to the easy open battery cover, it's just so well thought out and built. I believe it would have cost over £3k new, so quite an investment back in 1995. I used to own a TRB6P, that was an amazing bass, and one that I've always regretted selling. This I hope will be a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Love it. I think these are one of the best six string basses ever made. Love the necks. I love the early TRB 6 basses. They have a great clarity but awsome growl. Check out the awsome Deborah Killings on a JP. http://youtu.be/jeZK9BD90F4 Edited October 22, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 My TRB6 MK I was my first bass, still a monster if a little bit for what I've gotten used to now. The JP was always what I really wanted. What a stunner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's got too many strings for my lack of skill, but it sounds as if it actually is exactly what you wanted. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TRB6P that I had was a superb bass. I sold it to Kevin Glasgow, so it went to a good home. A photo from this evenings gig. [attachment=230636:14729123_1840038219564022_8900643665370322770_n.jpg] It has such amazing clarity, yet there's a real depth to the sound too.
