Marc S Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Price Drop Now £450 For sale: beautiful Yamaha TRB 1005 Active 5 string bass, in rather fetching Orange / Red (note: it's not one of the Japan models - they're now over £1K) This bass has upgrades, in the form of a high mass bridge - with full adjustability including side-to-side for string spacing of your choice It also has a Bartolini pre-amp (which is an improvement on the original) I recently had a new jack socket fitted, and set-up at A-strings guitars in Treforest (near me). The bass is in lovely condition, with hardly any marks and no "dings" at all. It sounds superb, with a great array of tones available. I'm not really a 5 string player, and this just isn't getting used. Although I would prefer a straight sale, I have now added a few trade options - see last post Am happy with cash balance either way - so I would add money for the right bass Collection preferred, but we could perhaps meet up somewhere convenient (I've got a Roland battery amp and Vox Amphones - so you can hear this lovely bass) I can throw in a gigbag so you can get this bass home safely. I have priced this bass to sell - as I have way too much stuff. At 500, it's already less than I paid for it, especially when including the work I've had done recently Edited November 28, 2019 by Marc S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee650 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I've no 5 string now!! Wish I had the cash for this 😁 Edited October 13, 2019 by lee650 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Just adding a couple of pics, to show the neck width, at the nut and at 12th fret. Bear in mind though, the ruler is on top of the strings - I think the measurement is very slightly less than it may appear on these photos. (Using a slim, clear ruler which I could get under the strings - it appeared to be just a smidge over 41mm at the nut, and just under 63mm at the 12th) Edited October 14, 2019 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 seems like a bargain to me...great basses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just a note to say, I have now put this bass up for sale in a shop not far from me (If you're anywhere nearby, and want to try this bass anytime - just drop me a PM and I'll let you have details of the shop, as I'm not sure whether it's against forum rules to "advertise" a shop?). Obviously, it'll be more expensive in the shop, as they need to take some commission. Anyhow, I hope I'm not now tempted to fill the space left by this bass.... with anything else! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've dropped the price of this beautiful bass, to £475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Temporarily dropping the price of this bass to £450. Something else has turned up which is tempting me... If that sells, this bass will go back up to £475. EDIT: Also, I may now consider a couple of trades against this bass MIJ Fender Precision, or Earlier (Chinese) Squier Classic Vibe 70's P bass, or Squier CV Jazz (pref in White) Edited November 18, 2019 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
