bassmanady Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys, After selling my Alembic Rogue,the GAS got the better of me and i am now up to 5 basses,which is not a bad thing by any means...but i would like to reduce back down to 3,so as i dont really need 3 Yamaha TRB 5P's, i am selling one, This one made in 1991,is the lightest at 9.5lbs and in the best condition..with no buckle rash,or dings to the headstock or neck..all i can find is one small chip on the edge,and a ding below the neck pup,which does not show up on the pics,and the fine surface lines caused by slap playing. It has a 34" scale neck,ebony board,and the controls are,volume,pick-up pan,bass/cut boost,treble/cut boost,piezo pan,piezo/switch which changes the piezo tone. It has the original case which is also in very good condition. Looking for £500 now sold As i am trying to reduce basses i am not really looking for any trades on this...thanks Ady Edited December 23, 2011 by bassmanady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwilym Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 so, so tempting. I let mine go for £550 3 years ago, and I think that was a bargain then. I'm sure this won't be around very long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an earlier TRB5, with jazz pick-ups and slightly different layout? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It has an ebony board. I've played this bass and it's absolutely wonderful - the only reason it's still for sale is that there isn't room to fit a V-bass pickup to it, otherwise I would have bought it on the spot. I'm still wondering whether that was the right decision so hurry up before I change my mind. Ady is a thoroughly nice chap too, he even gave me a lift back to the railway station!
