Very sad to be doing this, but up for TRADE ONLY (for now) is my lovely Yamaha TRB-IIF 5-string factory fretless bass in trans blue. It's a 35" scale factory fretless version of the well-regarded TRB-II basses. Made in Japan between 1998 and 2004, these were top of the line instruments, featuring Yamaha Alnico single-coil hum cancelling pickups and Yamaha's TRB 'Q-mix' 3-band preamp. This is an absolutely lovely example; there's some very small dings on the top but otherwise it's amazing for a 25+ year bass. The serial no suggests it was made in 2000 (if I've read this guide correctly). It has 18mm string spacing, and is currently fitted with DR Legend flatwounds. I think I have some Rotosound tapewounds if you would prefer. A lovely low action and amazing fretless tone. Got Basschat strap holders on ATM - I'll remove those and the strap unless you desperately want them. I picked this up a couple of years ago in a trade with TheGreek of this parish for my fretted TRB1005J, but the sad fact is I don't play enough fretless to justify keeping it, and I have some gigs coming up where a fretted 5 would be more useful (I have a Lakland 5 but it's strung E-C for one particular gig - I now need something strung B-G for other stuff). So I'm looking for a 5-string, ideally an active Jazz or equivalent with at least 18mm string spacing. Active isn't a deal-breaker, though, so happy to consider anything that's got 5 strings and 18mm spacing. Trading for a fretted Japanese TRB/TRB-II would be ideal; I might consider a TRB1005J plus cash if it's in natural. In a perfect world, I'd be happy to trade (plus adjustments as necessary) if someone had a TRB6 they were looking to shift on. I'm not really looking for 4 strings, however nice they are (even if TRBs), sorry. Not really looking to trade for anything else either ATM, though if you are desperate to buy this for cold hard cash, message me. I'm based in the SW so this is probably best for SW-based people as I'd prefer to meet up, but again if you're desperate and have something that fits the bill, but you're elsewhere, message me. Thanks for reading!

aha!

I’ve owned a couple of these and they are bloody decent basses, top quality all rounder. I’d have it if I wasn’t in the process of selling a bass. Good luck

Yep! Crazy lightweight for an Ash bodied Jazz.

Just to be clear the price I am asking is £3000. That being said I am sure anyone who might have an interest in a Bass of this quality and condition would drop me a message to negotiate.

Ah thanks. That makes sense. I've never had an expensive enough bass to need one. 😆

This is an analog unit whose primary function is to simulate a speaker cabinet when going direct to desk. This is particularly useful if using overdrive/distortion. It also functions as a headphone amp with an additional AUX input that allows you to play along to other sources, and it is also a DI box with a balanced XLR output in addition to the standard 6.3mm output and a 'through' output that bypasses the simulation. I can insert YouTube videos, but not dropbox links to my own pictures... what kind of sorcery gone wrong is this???

So tempted by this, just need to find £600 from somewhere. lol

Bought brand new back in December 2023, features all the bells and whistles you’d expect from the GK stable - 4 band EQ, contour switch (for scooped mids) and boost switch. I’ve used it a fair bit this year, but the only issue with it is something was dropped on it at some point, denting one of the rear corners. Doesn’t affect the sound or the structure of the casing, so otherwise it is in great condition. It has recessed side handles and casters attached which are easily removed, and comes with a custom made padded cover made by HotCovers. These retail for around £1100 new (without the cover), looking to shift it pretty rapidly as I have gigs pending, so the asking price is £700. I am open to sensible offers…. Selling because it’s too big for my needs. Located on the Isle of Wight, but can meet at any of our ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington/Southsea) for collection. I can also personally deliver for an additional £50 to cover my ferry fare, within a sensible distance, London or an equivalent location distance wise would probably be my limit. Thanks for looking. 😊

For some reason my dropbox links don't seem to work in thumbnails :shrug: Great, I can't insert them here either... :rolleyes: edit: well, reducing the size seems to have done the trick

Very good tracking octave pedal, no longer in production. Good cosmetic condition.
