epiphonesteinberger Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Hi everyone, here's the first of a few basses I have for sale. I am saving up for a microphone for my studio so I'm shifting my least often used basses. This is a Yamaha TRB5 II, made in Japan, in Amber Burst. It is in its original Yamaha hard case and comes with a set of chrome and a set of gold strap buttons. I'm going to take off the gold straplocks that are in the photos and replace them with one of the original sets of buttons. It's in great condition; only marks are a couple of tiny hairline knocks to the finish on top of the headstock and some very light buckle rash. The bass was very recently set up at Chandlers with 40s and a nice medium/low action. If you want to hear it, the bass was on a little soulful house remix I did with my mates. Go to [url="http://www.traxsource.com/title/174712/little-w-12th-st"]http://www.traxsourc...ittle-w-12th-st[/url] and have a listen to [size=4]the previews of the[font=Arial, Helvetica, clean, sans-serif][color=#999999] '[/color][/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Danny Clark & Jay Benham Mix' or the '[/font][/size][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Danny Clark & Jay Benham Instrumental'. It was recorded pretty much flat through an Avalon U5.[/size][/font] Looking for £450, pick-up only; not into sending it in the mail, apologies to those of you further afield. Bass is at a lockup in Staples Corner, North London. Going to give it a week on here; if no-one's up for it then I'll try ebay.

epiphonesteinberger Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 BUMP for a lovely old Japanese Yamaha TRB5. Sounds like a bass worth 4 times this money! Super-fast and easy-to-play. BE
itzing Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Are you interested for trade with Overwater by Tanglewood [u]TOJ2 4 TBK [/u]in excellent condition with soft case and a little playing ?
epiphonesteinberger Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Sorry mate, not really up for a trade. Thanks for the offer though, sounds like a cool bass.
thumbo Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Every month or so there seems to be a topic come up on the forum where someone is looking for recommendations for a relatively inexpensive 5 string bass and every time TRBs are highly recommended by those that have tried them, so I'm surprised no one's bitten your hand off for this bass yet! That's a great price for a lot of bass [size=4] [/size]
epiphonesteinberger Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Correct, thumbo. This is a reluctant sale.
epiphonesteinberger Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 BUMP loads of interest but it's still available.
tonybassplayer Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I have the same but a 4 stringer and I never seem to see any only the 5 string version
