TJ Spicer Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Yamaha TRB6pII £1400 Bought 2 years ago from The Gallery. It's a killer bass and super versatile with the piezo. The reason it's for sale is simply that I feel my MTD covers a lot of the ground that this bass covered, and I can't really justify having that many 'contemporary' style basses when they mostly get used in my own fusion project. It's in good condition, it was clearly gigged a lot before I owned it as the fretboard needed a good clean and I've gigged it quite a bit myself! A few dings particularly on the headstock from before I purchased it (I'm not sure how as I've never managed to hit the headstock on anything!). These can be seen in the photos. It's definitely not a 'light' bass, but something with this much wood really can't be expected to be, can it? Collection preferred, from Maidenhead (or Bath until October, by arrangement), but shipping is possible. It comes with a hard case, which I don't remember being original but I'll check (I never use hard cases...). Thank you for looking! T Edited November 12, 2018 by TJ Spicer
andybassdoyle Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Really nice. What's the neck profile like?

basspirate Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Nice one ! I have the trb 6p. Very good basses for the money .
Guest Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I’ve played a couple of these and they are extraordinary. The tone is incredible, very versatile and the piezo adds an extra dimension. They’re near the top of the tree of any custom 6-string and a bargain at this price. GLWTS!

Al Krow Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Lovely bass - you've had some awesome Yamahas (I know as I'm the very proud owner of your BBNE2 ) If this was a 5 string TRB5pii I would have bitten your hand off! Which obviously would neither have been welcome nor helpful for your bass playing career. Edited October 25, 2018 by Al Krow

That extra string will always be the sticking point for some, but I love having a 6 in the arsenal for compositional purposes, and I’m sure the right person is out there lurking! Thank you for holding back, as you say, possibly the biggest career deal breaker 😂
