Yamaha TRB1005J - natural finish - immaculate with gig bag - *SOLD* £625 Lowestoft

Yamaha TRB1005J in immaculate condition with gig bag.

I picked this up from @Gaucho 5 recently in a trade - it was never my intention to keep it but thought I would give it a try as you never know. It’s amazing for its price point and up there with the Japanese variety as well as other manufacturers 3 times its price. However, I have my heart set on something so it has to go!

anyway, it’s immaculate, a couple of minuscule marks on the back but barely visible. 
As gaucho says…

“however I can honestly say this is better than the more revered Japanese TRB5 I had a few years back....in every department! Proper jack of all trades, so many tones you can tease out and the action is wonderful!”

Some specs for those unfamiliar: 

Scale Length: 35" (889mm)

24 fret

18/19mm string spacing at bridge

Fingerboard: Rosewood

Body: Quilted Maple top/Alder body

Neck: Maple three piece

Pickups: Alnico-V Hum-Canceled

Preamp: 3 band

 

collection is obviously preferred however I can look into costs for a courier. I recently received a bass so have packaging.

any questions, please get in touch!

If I didn't have two already I'd give this serious consideration. Brilliant basses - a real workhorse that can do virtually anything.

To be honest, I am rethinking. I used it last night at a theatre show with IEMs and it was the first bass I had used there in a long time that cut through really nicely…. 
saying that, I could tell I wasn’t used to a 35” scale!! 😂😂 

more familiarity needed on that one, especially when sight reading!
