Japan93 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, Just posting this on here to see if there’s any interest! I have a Japanese Yamaha TRB II 5 string from 1998 which i’ve used on quite a few gigs over the past 3-4 years, but thinking of letting it go as I’m really not playing as much nowadays and honestly a bass like this cannot go to waste! It is in good condition with just a few dings here and there, most notably is a small chip in the finish and a slight dent in the fingerboard, but these are just cosmetic blemishes. Other than that everything works fine, maybe it could do with a string change, It’s set up with light gauge Elixers right now (.040 -.120) which were probably put on there a little under 2 years ago!! Not really thinking about trades, but i’m certainly open to see whatever you got! Pricing it at £[size=5][b]400 [/b][size=4](final price drop)[/size][/size], I haven’t kept up with the bass market, but I imagine it is still pretty rare to find a 5 string of this build quality at that price! Nice fat sounding humbuckers, 35" scale length and active 3 band EQ. Comes with the original hardcase and will throw some maintenance goodies in the accessory compartment also! P&P is free within the UK Cheers and thanks for looking, Connor [attachment=209389:yamahatrb.JPG][attachment=209390:yamahatrb2.JPG][attachment=209391:yamahatrb3.JPG][attachment=225080:IMG_2997.JPG][attachment=225081:IMG_3005.JPG][attachment=225516:IMG_3045.JPG][attachment=225517:IMG_3046.JPG] Edited August 24, 2016 by Japan93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan93 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone, long time no see. tbh I forgot I had even put this bass up for sale! but it seems to be getting interest lately. I've been playing it a lot over these months and I think i'd be kicking myself if I sold it this low, as it really beats any +[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£1000 bass i've owned. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]so unfortunately i'm putting it back up for the original price of [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]£450 regardless if anyone else is selling one cheaper. It'll be harder to sell surely, but there is too much sentimental value for it to be sold so low sorry to disappoint anyone.
