Up for sale is this fantastic example of the early made in Japan Yamaha TRB-5P with original hard case. The instrument sounds superb, plays wonderfully and is in excellent condition for its age.

SPECS

Figured Maple Body with Thru-neck Construction, the piezo pickups used on the TRB models use individual bi-morphous piezo elements for each string, all built into a specially designed bridge which is machined from solid brass.

Because piezo pickups directly pick up the resonance of the instrument body, the body itself must be made from the finest woods and designed to deliver rich, deep tone. The neck-thru design of these basses affords the best possible foundation for this amazing sound.

4Z08048 (1986-89)

I had one of these. Best neck ever!!! Loved this bass!

 

Here’s a few videos of the bass. It’s a live recording and what you hear is the bass on the Mesa Subway Plus preamp

 


 


I hope this helps someone to grab this beast fast!

Beautiful bass! I've never seen one in this colour before.

 

On the last tour I was on a few months back (I'm a theatre actor) our bass player had a dep covering a couple of performances. He turned up with one of these and I got to hear him play a bit while our sound guy sound checked him - it sounded incredible through our huge touring FOH rig. Clarity, richness, punch. And now I have GAS :facepalm:
