martybass Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Hy folks! I´m selling this lovely Yamaha TRB5 fivestring from the first Japanese Series with the infamous SlapCut. As you can see it on the pictures, the bass comes in a very rare Charcoal-Gray-Translucent finish and is in great shape. I really fell for the Yamaha tone by listening to DaftPunk´s Random Access Memories and THIS bass does the job brilliantly. But due to the fabulous original-electronics this bass is a sound-chamaeleon and definitely no only the funk & fusionists weapon of choice. Pretty sure, you won´t find much 5ers in that condition on the market. The Bass is here with me near Vienna, Austria but I´m able to ship tankproof 🙂 If you´re searching for a 34" neck, ultra versatile workhorse - DO IT! Asking GBP 905,- or EUR 999,- DROP TO EUR 900,- GBP 819,- due to studio microphone financing Feel free to contact me for any other questions. CHEERS! @NO! THE FLAMINGO IS NOT FOR SALE 🙂 Edited March 5, 2021 by martybass 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Great basses these. I'm intrigued by your EQ2 setting with the trim pot in the neutral position (neither cut nor boost) - can you actually hear a difference in tone when you switch between the flat (position 1) and EQ2 (position 3) settings?

martybass Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello! Yes, there is a difference, of course. You dial in the eq-setting tone via the small "wheels" so to speak. Soundwise I liked the setting on a previous owned BBN5A, photographed it and recalled the setting, so I didn´t have build that "Random Access"-Tone from scratch 🙂 Cheers, marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hmm, that's interesting, I'll have to have another play with mine! I know the wheel sets the frequency but I've always set the trim pot to a slight boost to get that mid-bump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybass Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 That´s interesting. Maybe it´s already that 1mm that counts 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
