  1. Should you need one more string, Russ @binky_bass is selling his TRB-6P...
  2. Thanks folks. 😉 Trade options added... Just in case.
  3. YAMAHA TRB-5P from the 23rd of August 1995. This model was discontinued in 1996. Would prefer selling it, but trades are always welcome, especially for a fretless bass : 4, 6 or 8 (no octave strings) strings unlined are my preferences. Simply the best P/J fiver on the market with the extra piezos that you can really use, way far better than my previous BB2025X and to date the best TRB I've ever owned. The Yamaha TRB-5P is still the main bass used by Abraham LABORIEL, there must be a reason... Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £1100 GBP !!! In fully working condition and very good overall condition for its age. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 wings of flamed maple with rosewood thick veneer core Neck through : 5 pieces of maple and mahogany Fingerboard : ebony Frets : 24 (has been professionally refretted) Headstock : 3 + 2 shape (angled) with rosewood top Pickups : 1 Yamaha BP-Z5 piezos bridge (one per string) + 1 Yamaha YJC52 + 1 Yamaha YPC52 Preamp : Yamaha BP-Z 2 bands Controls : volume, magnetic pickups blend, bass, treble, magnetics to piezos blend, piezos low cut switch (-12 db at 50 Hz) Tuners : Gotoh/Yamaha Bridge : Yamaha BP-Z5 Strings spacing at bridge : 19 mm Nut : bone Strings spacing at nut : 9 mm Knobs : original Yamaha Scale : 33 7/8 inches (860 mm) Hardware colour : gold (tarnished) Truss rod : 1 (fully working) Finish : amber gloss (has turned to some orange shade) Land of craftsmanship : Japan Serial number : 3O23075 Year : 23rd of August 1995 Weight : 4.4 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret (can go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with a brand new semi-rigid case. Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this terrific P/J fiver because I really have problems with odd numbers basses. I know... My loss is your gain. The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery and has been fitted with a brand new set of Newtone Diamond Stainless Steel Hex Core strings (42 - 60 - 75 - 96 - 120), which fit the bass to perfection. This fantastic Yamaha will also come with a brand new spare Newtone Diamond Stainless Steel Hex Core strings set (42 - 60 - 75 - 96 - 120), with two high C's, just in case. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles in natural light to see the real condition and the real colour : some knocks, dings and dongs due to its age (almost 25 years), but nothing serious. It has been professionally refretted by a previous owner. The ouput jack has been changed from a barrel one to a Telecaster type, which is much more convenient. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

  4. And the price is very good too. Go on @Gat0017.
  5. You'te a bit late @rogerwilliamsen 😉 Good luck with your sale @HumblePie 🤞
  6. Going to Bassompierre for the luthier ?
  7. Let it warm up, as it has partly succeeded for now. Static electricity is also a real evil, just as humidity.
  8. No more TLRT's, so 😀
  9. In fact, it's an Ibanez BL-800 BY (the same as the BL-700, except for the white pickguard and the laminated mahogany body due to the solid colour) in Burgundy red rom 1982 with the headstock reshaped (butchered), missing brass knobs, missing brass bridge and in poor condition. Not worth more than 100 GBP, the kind of bass you find in crash converters very often, absolutely not a collector, especially in this butchered version.
  10. Urm, urm, there's one for sale here on BassChat, in close to pristine condition for 350 GBP :
  11. It's an Ibanez Blazer BL-700 from the 80's with a reshaped headstock as I wrote earlier :
  12. I asked Alexa for sport :
  13. Yes, that's Julian Cope with The Teardrop Explodes. Saw them in the 80's, but have seen Julian Cope many times for the Saint Julian tour. He wasn't playing bass on stage anymore, except for some Teardrop Explodes tunes when he played the bass, ... because he was climbing everywhere... Remember this : And this :
  14. So let's not forget Curt Smith from Tears for Fears. In case, some of you don't know him, here's one of their early hit :
  15. Yep, always loved his way of playing (the same thing) on the two first records, like this :
  16. Wow, lovely Jens. Ken Lawrence basses are among the best you can find. You can deal in total confidence with Jens, there won't be any problem. GLWYS.
  17. Oben thor :
  18. No more TLRT's. Love Budgie too. Very ramjamesque sounding and built. Reminds me also of Randy California's Spirit. Who was there first ?
  19. And so on with a wink. XYZ... (YYZ). Got it ? I know, I'm wearing my coat all day long.
  20. 3 pages and not mention of Bootsy Collins ! Have we been taking too much sugar ? Fixed !
  21. Geddy Lee has already been mentioned without photo, because they have been ... moving pictures. XYZ, my friend. 👌
