Ok so I’m playing my other Yamaha TRB 5P11 and I’m struggling to keep this ad up! They’re so good that I want them all!!!!

Yamaha love?

I have a fretless - amazing bass - love it.

 

Those who aren't familiar with Yamaha build quality, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Possibly the best VFM basses on the market - and there are some really well priced basses available currently.

Fretless…oohh, would love to see that!

The TRB P11 is indeed special! Saw Laurence Cottle with one, years ago,  and I told him it was his best sounding instrument (my humble opinion of course).

Cheers

Keep looking at this. Don’t play 5’s currently.

 

it’s stunning 

[Bass Wielder]

Funny that…I keep looking at it too! Such a beauty right?

[Bass Wielder]

Also I must say… I have the new Hipshot single type bridge units on another instrument….for me, the Yamaha units are superior in build quality and function….plus the cream on top is the piezo!

just saying…

I love these basses

 

one of my bass regrets was sell one exactly the same as this

Sorry, was just playing on my 6 string version and got a bit dreamy and thoughtful… 🤔
