Dave Holden Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Hey Folks! I have decided to sell my Yamaha TRB6II. I love this bass but I just don't have a use for a 6 string at the moment. I have had it for about 7 months and bought it off a basschatter who had taken great care of it. There is only one small dink at the bass of the body near the strap pin which hopefully you can see clearly in the photos. It's currently strung with Ernie Balls slinkys. It comes with a gig bag and gold schaller style straplocks.

Will post the bass at buyers expense I live in North West London or I can meet up in London somewhere no problem Any questions please ask Thanks, Dave Edited August 17, 2011 by Dave Holden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horton Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) This is a great bass and Dave is a top bloke to deal with what bass are you after next ? P bass with a r/w fingerboard? Edited March 3, 2011 by Chris Horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Holden Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hey Chris, its great to hear from you!! Thanks for the bump! Yeh something like a rosewood P. I'd stick some flatwounds on it and go for that sweet sound I'll PM you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why yamaha would stop making these. The 1005 and 1006 range are good but the older models are just so much better.

Cairobill Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 morning is this the one with the 35 inch scale? Do you know the date of manufacture? Also, how much does it weigh? Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the date of manufacture? Also, how much does it weigh? Cheers, Nick[/quote] Hi there! Yeh it has a 35" scale. I'm not sure on the exact weight as I dont have any scales at home but I've found it comfortable having gone from playing a 4 string bass to this. I've had some interest from a basschatter and I was saying to him that I have been happy to play 2x45 minute sets without any problem at all. The serial number is 9FN2163 so I believe thats 1999. I'm not clear on how to read them but that's what I've found out from research. I hope this helps. Here is some more info on the bass from the yamaha website [url="http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/trb/trb6ii/?mode=model"]http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-ins...6ii/?mode=model[/url] Cheers mate Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_stones Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hot damn, that is one sweet, sweet bass. I missed the opportunity to grab one of these on evilBay a couple of years ago for just shy of £700 and I've been kicking myself ever since. If I had the cash.... Bump for a beautiful bass at a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Holden Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 [quote name='BeLow' post='1163760' date='Mar 15 2011, 09:43 PM']These are very good basses good tone and playability, also nice solid feel to them - I have one and they are a great first 6 string bass and you can still be happily playing them after you have become a hardened pro. Best of luck with the sale - how's EUB working out by the way. Hope the course is going well.[/quote] Hey! Thanks for the bump! Yeh these are great basses, shame I'm not using it really. The Stagg is doing great and the course is going really well at the moment. Its hard work but I'm staying on top of things. I hope you are well!

lucatus Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Hi there, I definitively agree, these were amazing basses, I had one with 5 strings and it was the best purchase I ever made. I´m not a 6 string person, but would you consider trade this one for a Fender Precision American Deluxe?Have a look. [url="http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w234/lucatus/Fender%20for%20sale/"]Photobucket[/url] For what I read earlier, I´m afraid it´s not rosewood and it´s not fretless... Cheers.
