Steff Posted Wednesday at 12:53 Posted Wednesday at 12:53 (edited) Posting up my Yamaha TRB 5 II for trade. Made in Japan in the 2000 I believe, 4.6kg on bathroom scales. Good overall condition with some tarnishing on the gold hardware which is to be expected for the age. Sounds like it should and plays lovely with a low action. There is some fret wear at the 1-7 frets (previous owner must have been a real bread and butter guy 😂) but still allows for a very low action without much fret buzz (I’ve set it up so that it has some because that’s how I like it). I’ve done the “Marcus Miller mod” as discussed on TalkBass - turning the neck pickup 180 degrees so that the sensing coil gets closer to the neck - that creates more of a Marcus tone, but easily reversible if needed. I’m not really interested in selling this one - posting it to see if there’s any interesting trade offers, or in addition to my Kiesel and MTD Kingston AG5 I have up for trade for a higher value bass. Only interested in trading for 5 and some 6 string basses - not looking for any 4’s. Cannot post but happy to travel for shared petrol costs. Edited Wednesday at 12:56 by Steff 6 Quote
