StanS Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Current retired lifestyle (too many holidays ) does not allow commitment to a band, so this fabulous bass in new condition, only gigged about a dozen times, is for sale. Bought new, 3 years ago when I retired. Not been touched for a year Bridge pick-up and usual high end build quality by Yamaha make it a versitile and great sounding bass. Hard case has never been used. Bargain at £1250 ono. includes straplocks and hard case. Sorry - not interested in part chops. Feedback: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82360&hl=StanS"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82360&hl=StanS[/url] Please note that only the bass, straplocks and hard case are for sale.

mr zed Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I own a TRB5Pii (in Bubinga) and can testify to just how awesome these basses are. All the tones are in there with the added bite that the piezo gives if required. I've never come across any other bass that has as solid a feel as these things have. Quality all the way! I toyed with the idea of selling mine a few months ago as it wasn't getting used as often as it should but couldn't bring myself to part with it. New, these are retailing at £2200+ Have a free bump on me Stan and good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is in ovangkol, like the one to the left The only one i liked more than mine was a Ken Smith (i believe the model was BT5) USA made. Another free bump for a lovely bass.

StanS Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Many thanks for the kind comments guys. I think I am coming to terms with the the end of the line of playing But I am keeping leads and a small practice amp (for now)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has the bridge pick-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I love these basses and with this wood too! They certainly feel like £2200+ (not sure of a new price of the top of my head) in your hands Sound wonderful, this is top a 5 and 6 of these is on the top of my lottery win GAS list Best of luck with the sale! Shame i just bought me a new Ibanez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Have a bump. Don't give up the playing, scale it back with some others to do what you want. I started again last year, we are all in the same job, have the same demands, understand what we can & can't do. Its great fun, I regret the 15 or so years of not playing seriously. Super bass, I want it, but my wife will kill me. Also wanted to buy the sideboard but sadly not for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
