I just wanted to thank you for finally providing me with some sort of details on my bass guitar!
I've had my TRB-4 since 2000, which I traded for a 1999 Fender American Series Strat with a set of DG20 David Gilmour EMGs. My guitarist at the time wanted to entertain the idea of a straight trade for my Strat -- he mentioned he had a Yamaha bass, and me being curious, I said sure, bring it to rehearsal so I could check it out...
Well, as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it! It reminded me of a guitar I saw Verdine White playing once. It also felt amazing, and the sound was SO punchy! So I thought 'Hmm... Strats are a dime a dozen -- nothing special, even with Gilmour EMGs -- and he may be getting the better deal here... why the hell not!' I mean, I fell in love with it immediately. Not to mention, I still haven't seen another TRB, aside from mine...
My son had my bass for several years, and I almost completely forgot about it, until he brought it over my place recently (he picked up a nice Peavey T-40 in great condition). I just completed a full setup on it, and man, this thing feels amazing!
Thank you SO much joe_geezer, for answering some questions I've always had about my TRB-4. Now if I can figure out this weird serial number that's been driving me nuts for the past week...
Edit: I forgot to add... I signed up to Basschat specifically to say Thank You for providing this information on the TRB!
Thank you very kindly!
