shieldsbass Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 What scale length on this one . Is it 35"? Many thanks. 😊
dyerseve Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) [quote name='herbass' timestamp='1474803032' post='3140580'] So is it a TRB6II then? [/quote] No, as the seller states it is a TRB6P. The TRB6II has a bolt on neck and doesn't have a piezo pickup. it also has an ash body. The TRB6P is a neck thru and has a piezo loaded bridge. The P features a maple body. http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/trb/trb6p/?mode=model Edited September 25, 2016 by dyerseve
therealting Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) It's a Mark II TRB-6P though. The earlier ones had a 33 7/8" scale I think. Edited September 25, 2016 by therealting
shieldsbass Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks mate . Lovely bass, is it 18mm string spacing ? Edited September 25, 2016 by shieldsbass

Paulhauser Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) No, this is NOT a TRB6PII (MARK 2) This is a TRB6P from the first series, just as the seller states. It has the high-mass bridge as opposed to the monorail bridges that are on the TRB6PII. Also the pickups are narrower on this as on the TRB6PII. Also it has 5 knobs plus a switch whereas the TRB6PII has 6 knobs and no switch. TRB6P's from the originial series are mostly coloured (trans red, blue and orange and blue occasionally), a natural one like this is quite rare. The TRB6PII's are all natural, using maple, bubinga or ovangkol top and back, and ash in between. I advise the seller to measure the scale lenght, as it has to be 33 7/8" (cca. 860mms), not 35" (889mm) This is a great bass by the way! Edited September 25, 2016 by Paulhauser
herbass Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Hence my question. Thanks for clearing that up! So the scale-lenght is most probably not 35".
therealting Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Happy to stand corrected, was only going by the seller's assertion that it was a 35" scale. Pretty easy to clear up if the bass had just been measured! I have a Mk I TRB6, it was my first bass and although it is a huge beast, it forced me to develop good technique as the neck is so wide.
ambient Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 These are brilliant basses. I had one and wish I hadn't sold it. Mine was over 20 years old, and in red. It's now owned by the amazing Kevin Glasgow, at least it went to a good home.
Hellzero Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 These are 860 mm scale, so absolutely not 35 inches. I own one and they all are with this scale having one or two trussrods. Time to correct...
slapierro Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Pics please Paul is right: not 35'',19cm spacing,etc...
fiatcoupe432 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Just to translate what the guy said , bass is no longer available
