[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='818324' date='Apr 25 2010, 06:59 PM']would you consider a trade for a sexy 5string, or are your a 6er-only type of guy?[/quote] Hi Phil, Thanks for the offer but I am 6 string guy. I really need a back up to my main Yamaha as we have a lot of touring coming up - just got back from the first leg of this tour today. I desperately want another TRB, so thanks again for the offer. Take care. Cheers, Matt

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='806580' date='Apr 14 2010, 09:48 PM']Biggest regret of my Basschat career...selling a Bongo HH.[/quote] I am genuinely gutted Andy but it's not doing what I need it to do. It is one of the finest basses I have ever played, seriously (plus it's a stunner) and I know I am going to regret it but I need the right bass for my gig and this isn't it I wish it was!!

I cannot believe this is happening to me, but I bought a beautiful Musicman Bongo 6 HH (in red) bass 3 weeks ago and totally fell in love with it. The feel, the looks and the sound but, it's not the sound that is right for my band and music. I have been playing Yamaha TRB6 basses for years but when the Bongo was launched I had to have one. I am now about to go on tour and have resorted back to my Yamaha but I don't want the Bongo sat around. I paid £1899.00 and will be looking for either - 1) A trade for a good condition Yamaha TRB6P (not a TRB6 JP) and small cash adjustment depending on the condition of the bass. or 2) A trade for a good condition Yamaha TRB6 and cash adjustment. or 3) £1450.00 straight cash deal. I am absolutely gutted about this but I know what I need and this has to go. This bass has never been used in rehearsals or live or been out of the house and is in 100% new condition with Musicman case, which is also in immaculate condition. Hopefully hear from someone soon and for it to find the right home. If you want anymore information, just get in touch and I'll help in anyway I can. Thanks. Here are some pictures.

[quote name='Pentode' post='782675' date='Mar 22 2010, 08:20 PM']Just bought Matts' TRB6 JP. Matt's an absolute gentleman to deal with, showing exemplary patience with me as I bumbled through the UKs' internet banking system...... Ignore an opportunity to trade with this man at your peril! Many thanks my friend![/quote] Thank you my friend and the it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you too. Honest every step of the way. The same applies, if you have a chance to deal with Grahame, do it! Take care and thanks again. Cheers, Matt

Good afternoon all on this rather beautiful day. Well, the time was right, so I bought a Musicman Bongo 6 which I have been after for ages. It was my birthday Saturday and as a treat to myself, I bought the Bongo. Therefore, I am now slimming down my collection to make room for this. My main live bass is my black TRB6, which I will never sell, but the Yamaha TRB6 JP (series 1) has to go. I have never played it live, it has only ever been used in my studio. I am sorry to see it go, but I need 2 basses to take out live and the TRB6 JP is just too beautiful to risk damaging in a rock and roll band. Anyway, enough of my waffle. This is in beautiful condition and has recently been set up by my guitar tech, who is simply a genius. The action is quite low but not too low and plays like an absolute angel. I have a few pictures, which I have attached here, but if you want anymore, just let me know and I'll sort it out for you. Because I'm in an extremely brilliant mood as well and happy with my new gear, I have decided to let this go for a very silly price. Are you ready? [b]£1000 ovno[/b]. No trades please The bass is currently in a flight case and I will sell that separately for £90.00 or, you can use your own case if you want. I would prefer collection if possible for obvious reasons, but I am prepared to meet within a 100 mile radius of me (Cardiff based) or get the bass delivered by courier at the buyers expense. This is a real gem of a bass and so hard to find these days. If you want any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will do all I can to help. Thanks for reading and hopefully hear from you soon. Take care. Cheers, Matt

Curbow Int'l Exotic Petite 6 String Bass
mattbass6 replied to Timothy.groovy's topic in Basses For Sale
Was this the same bass that was on e-bay recently? It is a stunner for sure. Just a few questions if you don't mind? 1) is it still for sale? 2) what is the string spacing and scale length? 3) can the Roland GK-3 pick-up and interface be taken off and if so, what damage would there be? 4) would you sell the bass without the Roland stuff and if so, at what price? (I am not interested in the Roland stuff at all). Thanks for your time and I look forward to your reply. Take care. Cheers, Matt P.S. PM Sent as well. -
Just spoken to my mate and he is letting his, natural finish, immaculate condition, Streamer Stage I 5 string go for £1000.00 or very nearest offer. I have played the bass and it is stunning. If you are interested, let me know and I will pass on his details for you. Take care. Cheers, Matt

[quote name='gilmour' post='633639' date='Oct 22 2009, 06:27 PM']another +1 on the Yamaha TRB 5 I had a warwick thumb 5 for a while and the string spacing was to close for me, the Yamaha was instantly playable for me. Plus they're great basses and you can get them dirt cheap![/quote] Yeah I had a Thumb 6 and the spacing was a little tight. Yamaha is the winner for me too

I had a Streamer Stage 1 6 string and the neck was huge, a bit too big for me. I currently play a Yamaha TRB 6 with 18mm and it is just perfect, the Streamer I believe is 20mm. A good friend of mine is actually selling a Streamer Stage 1 5 string. Do you want me to find out more details for you? If so, PM me. Good luck and take care. Cheers, Matt
