I have to bump this ! This amp is just fantastic at a crazy price I would rip your arm off for it if i did'nt already have one

bump

It looks nice. Should'nt there be screw holes in the body near the bridge for the chrome covers ? Has the scratchplate been changed as i cant see holes for the thumb rest ? i am probably wrong with the year etc perhaps one of the fender experts here can help out

I like it , I like it a lot

[quote name='plumbob' timestamp='1327832200' post='1517241'] I wondered why he was selling , as I bought my Trb5Pii after speaking to Chris , and I don't think I would ever part with it as it does so much so well ! Why did you want the Bubinga? [/quote] Hi, long before i even got my Maple TRB 5PII , I alway's loved the "look" and colour of the Babinga wood. I watched a video of Abraham Laboriel (my faviorate bass player) and i was hooked [attachment=98482:6B9F21F5-Abraham-Laboriel-Sr.jpg] TRB 5 PII's of any kind don't come up for sale very often so when i saw the maple up for sale i went for it Recently ,Mr Z , sent me a PM offering me his Babinga version , i was in the fortunate position where i could buy his bass and then try the Maple & Bubinga bass guitars side by side I can't justify keeping 2 TRB 5 PII's as much as i love them both. Personally i prefer the colour of the Babinga top TRB. I can feel a comparison review coming on ok, with all the tone controlls set in the middle position on both bass guitars and my Epifani UL 502 amp I think that the - - Maple TRB is a lighter bass guitar - Maple TRB has a slightly more zingy / brightness at the top end. - Bubinga TRB is heavier. - Bubinga TRB has a very slightly fuller sounding notes right across the range. (slightly more creamy sounding) with very slightly less Top/zingy end. I found that with a small (and i do mean small) amount of adjusting from the bass guitars & amp controlls , i could get both bass guitars to almost sound identical. I find it quite hard to put down in writing the differences between these two fantastic bass guitars. After playing both Maple & Bubinga TRB's side by side at home in a quitet room, you can hear these subtle differences. They really are subtle. I think that in a normal "live gigging" situation with lots of noise etc,i dont think that you could really tell the difference between the two. It was a real privalidge to try these two basses side by side to satisfy my curiosity but it was allway's going to be a short term experiment thing. I have a very understanding wife They always say that if you are going to test and play a bass guitar , you should do it with your eyes shut and your ears open. For me , this time ,even though the Babinga TRB is the heavier bass guitar, the lure of the Bubinga wood grain and colour won. I hope that is helpful Best Regards Chris

I really like the colour of this bass , a real cracker

I used to have one of these amps , I loved it The amp has a great tone Best wishes with the sale
