    Yamaha TRB-5 (MIJ)

    in Basses For Sale

    Low B sounds great on this bass, but i wanted to try high C and sounds great as well, good for someone who like to play melodic solos.

    Anyway, if someone is interested then make me an offer, you never know!

    That is a very good price for that bass, someone should snap it soon.
    My Kubicki weighed 5kg on luggage scale like that one [url="http://www.luggage-scales.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/luggage-scale.jpg"]http://www.luggage-scales.net/wp-content/u...ggage-scale.jpg[/url]
    Hope that helps and good luck with the sale.

    Hi and thanks, but what 'very clean Mark 1' mean? :)

    Hi there,

    This beauty came to me from Italy maybe one week ago. I've put a new set of LaBella strings with high C string and done some strings action/intonation setup and the action now is very low and comfortable. Since i plugged this bass into my amp i'm soooooooo impressed how great this bass sounds, i've heard many good reviews of Yamaha basses but right now i know how precious it is! It's an older, Japanese made model, bolt-on, 3 pieces maple neck, 2 pieces ash (am i right?) body, rosewood board and original Yamaha pickups and electronics. I love finish on this bass, i dont know what is this exactly, propably lacquer because it's not like a satin and natural, but it's not like a fat lacquer coat as well, and the wood grain of the body is well visible through the orange colour. It's a beauty, and sounds like a dream.
    Unfortunately i'm really sad because my hands are sooooooooo small, i know it might sounds like an execuse, but belive me, it's not, and when i'm playing on the higher frets i have to put my wrists and body in a weird positions, i hate it, why me? I'd like to have a big hands, or even a normal and enjoy this bass fully.
    So, sadly i decided to put it here for trade, but i wont let it go easily.

    Things that i'm after - fiver with a narrow strings spacing
    Tokai Hard Puncher, or Jazz Sound
    Fender Japanese Jazz

    Yamaha is in great condition, have a few small dings here and there but nothing serious, no fretwear, gold on the bridge is a bit rusty but nothing serious, bridge still works great and i had no problem with action and intonation setup.

    Here is some pics of whole bass, if someone will be interested then i can post some more detailed pictures.

    Here you can find more pics - [url="http://imageshack.us/g/27/img0461vh.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us/g/27/img0461vh.jpg/[/url]

    As i already mentioned, i wont let it go easily, maybe it's not a high value bass but first time i'm feeling like i've got a real precious in my hand. I'd be very happy to swap for a four strings version of this one, anyway try me with some offer, i can only say no!

    I'm in North-west London if that helps and hand-to-hand swap is preffered as i have only a gig-bag.

    Thanks,
    Pat

    FOR SALE: Kubicki Ex-Factor 1989 TRADED

    [quote name='cetera' post='1301044' date='Jul 12 2011, 02:04 PM']Isn't this the bass that sold a couple of weeks back on eBay for approx £620?! :)[/quote]

    Propably yes, it was 622, but that was my auction and i didn't sold this bass anyway. Transaction was cancelled because i had no idea that there is such a low interest in this bass at the moment. That price was far too low, am i right? Then i tried again with a fixed price auction and here with a lower price than on ebay because of fees.
    Anyway, bass is now part traded and i'm more than happy with that.

    Hi there,
    So i tried to swap this strap for shorter size but i know it's like a mission impossible so now is for sale.
    Great strap, very comfortable and very well built. I've used it a couple of times but its still in great shape, almost like new.
    The size is long but im calling it 'medium' because they have three sizes- short, long and extra long.
    Reason of selling is as i've allready mentioned, i want to get the same strap but short size, i bought it new from The Gallery and i thought it will be good but i'm a little man and i need the shortest one.

    I'm asking £20 and postage is included.

    I'm preffering bank transfer but paypal is ok if you want to pay fees and send me money as a gift.

    Cheers,
    Pat

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1288946' date='Jul 1 2011, 01:06 PM']I have no idea on numbers, but my corvette $$ seems like a very standard string spacing for a 5er to me. Now I would recommend the Epiphone non-reverse bodied thunderbird, a lovely PJ pickup combo, very narrow string spacing, rather rare, and deaver has one for sale on here at a reasonable price. I got mine not too long ago and i've rather fallen in love with it. Whatever you do, do not get this confused for a reverse bodied model (the modern shape, which is a lot more common), the string spacing on those 5er's is wickedly huge, I should know, I have one!

    EDIT: here's mine: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=140757"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=140757[/url] - pics are half way down the thread
    deaver's for sale one: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116644&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116644&hl=[/url] his is older, which explains the headstock differences

    the other colour they did them in was a seafoam green, if that's your sort of thing[/quote]

    Thanks a lot for that, but unfortunately the shapes of Thunderbirds are faaaaaaar away from my personal taste. :)

    As far as I'm concerned, anything less than 19mm is "narrow" and anything less than 17.5mm is "unplayable".

    :)[/quote]

    I've never seen a bass with 14 mm spacing (but i'm wondering what is the string spacing in a fretted 6 string CT that Les Claypool have, it's look like the narrowest spacing ever), i can imagine only that it might be a true unplayable. I think 16.5mm would be perfect for me. My problem is especially the pinky finger, sometimes when i play on the higher positions it's almost impossible for me to play notes on the E string with my pinky so belive me, when i say i've got a small hands it's not an excuse.

    Hi there,
    I'm planning to move myself into a 5'ver, but i'm looking for a bass with a really narrow string spacing and neck as i''ve got a really small hands. On the other side i dont have too much money so i cant order a custom bass. I'm thinking about tuning in a high C instead of low B string so 34" scale or lower will be a plus. I was wondering if the Spector Euro 5lx will do the job? It's a 35" scale but strings spacing at bridge is 0.66" so i think it's a quite narrow, am i right?

    I'll send my naked pictures for the best advice :)
