edpirie Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) SOLD: £[s]1,500[/s] [s]1,300[/s] [s]1,100[/s] Final price drop before it goes on EvilBay. Yamaha TRB5Pii which has been their top-of-the-range bass for some years as used by many session players. This is the flamed maple version and is a stunning piece of craftsmanship - the photos really don't do it justice. Ebony board, through neck, piezo pickups as well as the two Alnico humcancelling. Powerful EQ gives a wide tonal range, but the main selling point for me was a truly fat B-string, the first I'd played that really held it's own. That was back in the day when I played gospel, now I'm returning to my 4-string roots. It's hardly been played the last few years, and is in excellent condition. I've just had it serviced and set up by The Bass Gallery given its recent time unplayed, so it's ready to go. See [url="http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/trb/trb5pii/"]http://usa.yamaha.co...es/trb/trb5pii/[/url] for specs. List price is £2,800 and GAK have it for £2,250 special order. Based in South London and would prefer not to ship, but could meet up within the London area.

edpirie Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 I'm afraid the only bass I'd consider trading for would be a Precision, and most likely a road worn 50's P at that.
itzing Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) this time i have a Fender precision plus Deluxe ... a precision standard MIM black .... and a special Warwick thumb NT 92 model for trades !! Edited August 27, 2014 by itzing
edpirie Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks for the offer, but I'm really only after a sale except for possibly p/x for the right kind of vintage type P-bass.
edpirie Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Sorry for the delay - yes this bass has now sold. Thanks for your interest, Ed
