lucatus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Hi there. Reluctantly, I have to sell my MIJ Yamaha TRB6, bought here a few months ago. It's a great bass but unfortunately my dodgy neck doesn't seem to like it... 35" scale for that great sound on the B string, bolt-on, original picks and preamp... I love the sound in this basses, you can hear it here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/pablobassman/music/songs/fold-40-acoustic-41-by-ciara-clifford-88290876"]http://www.myspace.c...ifford-88290876[/url] Little pic here: And more here: [url="http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w234/lucatus/Yamaha%20TRB6/"]http://s177.photobuc.../Yamaha%20TRB6/[/url] As I mentioned on BC before, the volume pot doesn't cut the sound completely. This is something I also noticed on my first TRB and seems to explain why this basses drain so much battery, but as I also mentioned, on this one is less noticeable than on my previous one and you need to have the amp very loud to notice it. Little dings on body and neck and a bit of rust on one of the frets, all expected on a bass from the 90's, but nothing serious. I tried to show everything on the pictures and I can always take more pics on demand. Pricewise, I bought it for 550 without case or gigbag, then spent 80 at Wild Guitars fixing a missing pot and replacing the dodgy jack the previous owner forgot to mention.., so I think it's reasonable to ask for 550, including an old gigbag and Dunlop straplocks. I'm more than willing to meet on reasonable distance if you wanna try it (I'm based in Holloway, London). If you wanna come to Holloway to try it, I promise I can make a decent cup of tea. [s]Trades? Sorry, not looking for anything at the moment, prefer a straight sale.[/s] I still need the cash but I'm open to partial trades, WHY? I'm not looking for nothing in particular, but a TRB5 in the same colour would be most welcome! Cheers. NOW SOLD,PENDING COLLECTION AND PAYMENT.THANKS Edited September 6, 2012 by lucatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Horton Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 That's a great looking TRB, Am I right in saying that this is the trb6ii model though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucatus Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Chris! You mean the MarkII? Yes, it is. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to mix with the TRBII (the neck-through-piezo, etc.) and I thought it would be easy not to take it for a MarkI. It's very clear here, on this photo from the Photobucket album: And it really saddens me to sell it, I was so happy to have a TRB once again..

Chris Horton Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah that's it , these are fantastic bass guitars . Excellent value for money. Lots of sound for your pound ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucatus Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Absolutely, I also have a Bongo and a Pedulla, in theory "better" basses, but this one has the best sound... I would be tempted to swap it for a 5 string TRB, but right now I'm getting along very well with the other ones (also 5ers) so I'll try to supress the GAS.

lucatus Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Bump Have to say I almost called this off, used the bass on a couple of rehearsals and I really wanted to keep it... until my dodgy neck indicated otherwise. Whoever gets this wonder, I envy you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
