Great bass! Nice flattish fingerboard, great ergonomics, good medium weight & balance, nice slim neck (front to back), quiet electronics, the piezo's give a great attack, and the sound very versatile and malleable. This neck-through version feels great to play. Won't find many of these specific basses for sale. I have one (with red flamed maple finish) that my girlfriend wants me to sell to reclaim apartment space...but I'm not gonna... These were pretty pricey back in 1992 - I do recall feeling guilty spending that much back then...
It is a very great bass really. This very early 1 trussrod I like even a bit more than the also great 2 rod version from the early nineties. I also have a Fodera AJ6... 2 x 6 strings is 1 too many...so one has to go... can you imagine that this relatively cheap TRB6P can compete with the AJ6? It can. It is a bit of a different beast but I won't say the TRB6P is a lesser bass...

An acquired taste... 😉

A steal for a neckthrough bass that is as good as the famous high end basses that cost 5 times as much.
Fantastic neck through top of the line TRB6P(iezo): the first 6 string ever built by Yamaha. This one is from the first series with a single trussrod and (single coil!) pickups more or less 'in '70's position'.
Also has the quite unique blendable piezo's in the bridge creating a sound that is very clean and bright, a bit like an extended acoustic guitar.

Whatever you saved for a rainy day... it’s raining now! 😊

Great Fender Jazzbass 1973 with OHSC. Apart from the bridge pickup being replaced with a same but ‘75 grey bottom at some time it is 100% original. Very comfortable player, light, good balance, slim neck and low action. Nice growly fat Jazzbass sound. These early 70's Fenders have something different going on. And oh yes, the bass has some love signs but all works fine, including the trussrod.

It's a tube with thread inside indeed. However... I would expect to find something like that online and I didn't.

Somehow my trussrod puller got lost and now I can’t seem to find any shop that sslls these. Fodera has them in a toolkit for $30 but shipping costs another $55 which doesn’t fit in my head: transportation almost twice as expensive as the toolkit... so... looking for a place in Europe to buy one... any suggestion is appreciated!

OMG!!! I was born on the 4th March 1972, the previous day.
Actualy ‘5’ means ‘Precision’ and ‘7’ ‘Jazzbass’. But still quite a YOB!

Selling this fantastic clean and 100% original '72. maple board bass. Early '70 Fender basses are the lightest in this decennium and so is this one: approx. 3700 grams on my kitchenscale. A-neck(!), original ashtrays and thumbrest and OHSC. Frets, truss rod, electronics wtc. Everything is perfect. Plays like butter sounds fenomenal.
Have to kill darlings and hardly play four strings so this one has got to go.

Celebrating our 75th liberation day with a special discounted price. It’s now or.... ever?

Upupup... this one’s gotta go out of love

Mainly used at home. Great condition. Technically 100%. 8 ohm version with carpet clothing.
Great cabs. For me the perfect synthesis between the fidelity of Glockenklang and the smoothness of Vanderkley.
Check the reviews online.
I also have a GR212 for sale (£550). I only need one cab so one or another has to go!
