2004 Yamaha TRB1005 - 5 String/35” scale (Caramel Brown) £595 inc delivery *ON HOLD* - *SOLD* £595 County Durham DH2

[Paddy777]

2004 Yamaha TRB1005 35” Scale, 5 String, Double Humbucker bass in Caramel Brown

 

Absolutely great condition - hardly any marks on it, it’s 20 years old so it’s not brand new but there’s barely a mark on it. It’s a truly stunning bass - finished in Caramel Brown, it

looks and sounds like a boutique bass, with the top end Yamaha craftsmanship on display with the quilted maple decorative veneer over the maple top 

 

This is a proper professional bass in terms of looks, sound, playability & features, inc. the following:

 

- 35" extra long scale length (889 mm)

- Alder body

- Maple top with quilted maple decorative veneer

- Sixfold bolt-on five-piece maple-mahogany neck

- Rosewood fingerboard with oval inlays

- Two Yamaha hum-cancelling pickups with Alnico V magnets

- Active 3-band EQ

- Yamaha 5-saddle brass bridge & Yamaha die-cast tuners

I bought this from BassBros a month ago on impulse, but I’m not really going to gig it. I  have 2-3 basses I already use that are ahead of it for the gigs I could use it for, and I’m in dire need of a P or PJ bass for some up coming work that I’ve just been offered, so I’m taking a hit to get a deal done quickly!

 

£595 includes U.K. delivery

 

This is an absolute steal for one of these. especially in good condition like this - I paid more than this for it, and it has probably been in my hands for less than an hour, and hasn’t left the house! I am really after a sale but will possibly listen to trades

It’s an unbelievably good quality instrument, the notes played on the B string are as articulate with as much clarity as they are on the A string, amazing neck, - it’s a proper professional’s bass 👌🏼

Miles better than the price suggests, proper all-rounder! You can cover virtually everything with one of these!

Great basses...I have two...fretted and fretless...

Lot of bass for your buck. This one is severely underpriced...grab it while you can.

Looks good enough to eat

I think the most underrated part of these basses are its preamp. The frequency it's set on are just perfect for my taste.
