Craig Robinson Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Hi All Selling my Yammy TRB4 MK1. I am pretty crap at models,eras, MK1/MK2 and so on 🤔 so please feel free to correct me should I be just plain wrong!? Now that's out of the way..... I feel the pics capture the bass really well. It is in, I would say 8/10 condition wise but that is subjective. It is a truly great Japanese bass with some clever tweaks available under the control plate. The stacked j pickups are very strong and punchy regardless of what tones you want to dial in. VOL/BLEND/BASS/3 WAY SELECTABLE MIDS/TREBLE configuration, mids adjustable further with trim pots. One piece Ash I think weighing in at just shy of 9lbs nice unobtrusive weight. Also a slap cut for those inclined to such trickery. A few small dings as shown in pics but kept in its original Burgundy Yamaha branded hard case from new. Beautiful player! Any questions fire away Cheers Craig.

andybassdoyle Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Nice. I'm no expert either but I think this is the original version. 4s were/are quite rare and, from what I remember, a killer slap bass. If you like that sort of thing of course....

GreeneKing Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Yes I agree. My 2nd bass, many years ago was a more orange coloured one with the same cutaway. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 What a beauty! Yeah defo a mkI. The IIs have soapbar pups where as all the Is had jazz pups. This is probably the first 4 string I've seen for sale from the original series. Top quality Japanese craftsmanship and killer tones. I had a 4 and a 5 string II and loved both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40hz Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 This is a rare bird indeed at a great price. I had a MK2 TRB4II, a truly outstanding instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The Mk Is are fantastic. My first bass is a TRB6 from that series - I still have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Worth noting for sale purposes is that the MkII was a 35" scale but the Mk1 is 34". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
