[quote name='shemeckfrac' timestamp='1371217136' post='2111319'] Nice ! How old is the bass? [/quote] I bought it new from the bass gallery in 2008, and it has rarely been out of the house. Two of three times a year I would get enthusiastic and start practising on it again, but a problem with my fretting hand tended to ensure that I made little progress, and eventually put it back in the gig bag.

This TRB1005 is a 5 string fretless bass with a 35 inch scale. Yamaha's TRB series was developed to improve the playability of the low B string, and currently does not have a fretless in the range, so if you like TRBs and want a fretless, you should be thinking about buying this one. It is a conventional alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard instrument; it has two pickups and an active preamp with volume, blend, treble, middle and bass controls. The body veneer is unstained quilted maple, the fingerboard has brass fretlines, and the bridge and tuners have a dark tinted chrome finish. It comes with a Ritter gig bag. It is in excellent condition, having not had much use, and was recently professionally serviced.

Sorry, but no trades for other basses, but if you have a lightweight head or combo, I might be interested David

A search on this thread did not show any comment on 'parcelbroker.co.uk' so I'll add my comments here. They use UPS and I sent a large 4 * 10 sized cab from Warrington down to Hereford. Packaging was triwall cardboard, glued and roped up On receipt of my order they emailed me to warn me that I was close to the size limit for that price, and asked me to confirm that my measurements were accurate. The basic cost was £14.23 +vat and I paid £5 to increase the insurance - total cost £23.08 for a 35kg package 66 * 45 * 77 cm . UPS collected on time and delivered next day and undamaged. Good customer service and doing what they say they will do, so +1 from me. David

No problem - good luck with the sale. David

Would you be interested in a straight swap for my fretless version of the same model, same colour, also in excellent condition? You would then have a matching set and could sell something else. David

Thanks for the positive comments. I have both the 3000 and the 4000 and they give me all the tonal range I need. As far as I can tell, many players use their graphic eq set to give the response that the 'shape' control is designed for, so lack of graphic eq should not be an issue. David

A solid state amplifier with a conventional power supply, in a 2U rack mount-format, with built-in Hartke reliability. Not quite as powerful as the iconic HA3500 (although you would be hard pressed to hear the difference playing live) this head uses the EQ system from several of their combos and their DI pre-amp box - a four band EQ, and a shape function, similar to a variable frequency, variable depth, mid-frequency scoop. From the user manual - [url="http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/legacy_docs/3000_4000_manual.pdf"]http://www.samsontec...4000_manual.pdf[/url] Introduction - ...provides 300 W into 4 ohms... Specification page - Distortion typically less than 0.1% Power output @ 1kHz, 4 ohms, 5% distortion - 350 Wrms EQ frequencies 80 Hz, 220Hz, 770Hz and 5kHz Shape sweep 90Hz to 1kHz This amp was used out of a rack at some point in its career, and has some scuffing of the paint, as shown in the photographs, however, it is in full working order, and none of the pots crackle. I'm happy to meet up within reasonable travelling distance in NW England, or courier it to you at your expense, I estimate that will cost about £15.

There have been discussions about rack-mounting sleeved amps in the past - The general consensus was that assuming the amp was about the right size, you could mount it under an upside-down rack-mounted shelf, which would then provide the missing sides and top. David

It is an 8 ohm cab. The bottom end is covered by an Eminence Delta 12LF rated at 500 watts, the mid-range is covered by an Eminence Alpha 8 rated at 125 watts and the top end is covered by an Eminence APT50 rated at 35 watts so you could use it with amplifiers up to 5-600 watts without worrying about it melting. As always, your tone settings will determine whether the the speaker starts to fart before the amp starts to clip. I used to use it in a church worship band with a 200w/8ohm Hartke amp, and it was rarely above 1/3 volume. It is more efficient than your average box. Let me know if you need any more information, or better still, come over and try it out. David
