Shockwave Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Hello all. I have here a Yamaha TRB6P. Bought it as an experiment and I love it! So much so I am now selling it so I can get the more expensive JP model! Brief overview. 34 Inch scale, 19mm String spacing. Perfect if you like wide string spacing, really helps when performing slap lines. This ones a very early example. The bass has been played a fair bit, frets/fingerboard are a little worn but have lots of life left, headstock has a few chips but the body is in great condition. Hardware has lost some of its gold. Pre-amp and Piezo is in great working order. It's actually fairly light considering the size of the beast. Action is very low. I am after £800 cash, OR a Musicman 3EQ 4 String Stingray, must be 9lbs or under, matching headstocks or special colours preferred. The only other trade/part ex I would go for is for a Blue one of these OR a JP model one. At the moment I am not interested in posting, you are welcome to come around to my place in Wimbledon, or I can meet up in Central London. Comes with what looks like the original beatup Yamaha Hardcase, though it is missing it's handle. Edited February 2, 2015 by Rich
Chris Horton Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 These are fantastic basses that can do it all. Just my humble opinion but I think you should keep this bass ....... it is much better than the JP model from what I remember
ambient Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I had one of these, really great basses. Aren't they 35" scale ?

Chris Horton Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 There is a JP model for sale on eBay at the moment for £600. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301512160358?nav=SEARCH
Beedster Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This is s hell of a bass that Rob prised from my grubby paws recently. I seriously doubt you'll get a better all round 6 string for the money, versatile, lightweight, low action, and solid as a rock.
