Yamaha TRB 4 ii £330

purchased second hand back in 2013 when I had a desire to be a bass player - fret skimmed and set up with Thomastik -Infield  JF344 Flatwounds by Tom at Feline Guitars but has pretty much stayed in it's rather luxurious case since. looking to sell for what I paid for it back then. Cash and collection from London SE21.

Here is the description from Yamaha: The 4-string TRB4II is a serious low-end machine with a rosewood-on-maple neck, finely sculpted ash body, smoothly ergonomic cutaway and neck joint, and bottom-anchoring brass bridge. Our 1998 refinements include a pair of beefy humbuckers, 35" scale length, and active electronics with surgically accurate three-band EQ.

The spec is:

Scale length: 35:

Neck: Bolt-on

Length: 1160 mm (45.66")

Width: 354.3 mm (13.95")

Body: Ash

Fingerboard: 24 fret Rosewood, 

Hardware: Gold plated

Nut: Bone

Pickups - Yamaha Alnico

Preamp - Yamaha 3 band

 

It's in a very fetching amber burst with a plush velvet lined Yamaha case - in excellent condition

Seems like a crazy bargain to me - can't believe this hasn't been snapped up. Collection only rules it out for me.

With it being in a hard case you could get it posted reasonably safely. Parcelforce used to insure instruments in hard cases, not sure if they still do... probably not knowing them.
