geoffbassist Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) hi guys, im gassing after a walkabout combo so am looking to sell my yamaha trb fretless 5 . its an amazing bass, sounds fantastic and is only 34" scale so its easy to get about on. It comes with a fitted yamaha hard case which is in good condition. The bass has been really looked after but has a few small knocks which are on the pics....one on headstock and 2 on the body...all very small and is otherwise in amazing condition...... im asking £375 collected........ any wants to play it, im in leeds cheers Geoff www.geoffchalmers.com Edited January 11, 2012 by geoffbassist
bassjamm Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I thought this day would never come young man... Mind you, after our recent GAS infested chats i'm not at all suprised, lol!!! I've played this beauty guys and girls and it's certainly an awesome fretless for the money!!! You'll not be disappointed!
STU-SBL Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 This was originally my bass (then owned briefly by Homer) and it's a great bass, easy to play and looks great with it's dark lines.
foxthebiker Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Hey, That's a real gem of a fretless....wow what a neck and just look at the wood, I say that's a bargain for a 5 string person! Have a bumperoo on me.... Good luck with the sale!

niceguyhomer Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 What a bargain - this is a gorgeous bass but I'd be really risking it if I bought it back now. Somebody buy this quick.

It's not a recent 1005F. So long before TRBII series or 1005
geoffbassist Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 had a few questions about the lines........they are very faint from the front but are white from the players view on the edge on the fingerboard.....very easy fretless to play.....
