4 candles Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Howdy, When will I ever learn??? Im simply not cut out for 5 string basses, after several atempts (overwater, shuker, yamaha, stingray) I am admitting defeat and so this has to go. Purchased recently from silverfoxnik this mid 90's bass was constructed in Japan where they are renowned for their quality control. Really well put together and solid as a rock. Maple neck with rosewood board- 6 bolt neck construction which is nice and thin . Ash body finished in transparent blackweighing in at around 9lbs- 34" scale with a tight and puncy B string. full specs for this model can be read here: [url="http://usa.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/trb/trb5/?mode=model"]http://usa.yamaha.co...rb5/?mode=model[/url] This example has been heavily modified. A previous owner has replaced the standard yamaha electronics with an Audere preamp and a pair of nordstrand fat stack pickups- these modifications alone cost over £400. The range of sounds available is unbeleivable, this preamp is so versatile. It is also the most powerful and loudest bass I have ever played due to the upgraded electronics.

LukeFRC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 this is a nice bass that caught my eye last time it came up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This used to be mine and it's a really, really versatile bass...does just about anything tonally! It's very easy to play too and has a very clear, well-defined low B string for a 34" scale.. To be honest, i do miss it, though because of using my Roscoe Beck all the time I never used it enough to justify keeping it.. Sorry it didn't work out for you Mark, but good luck with the sale!
