[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a 6-string 35" active with bass, mid and treble boost and cut, bridge-neck pan and volume control.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maple/alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 40" radius, 17mm string spacing.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Trans red colour, shows off the flame maple finish underneath really nicely.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Had it for a while but the truth is i'm really [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]a 4-string player at heart. It is a lot of fun though. Action is higher than average, so may well [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]need a setup depending on your style. Has a few dings in the finish on the body and the top-face [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]of the headstock. Otherwise in good condition, never gigged or even taken out of the house. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Comes with schaller straplocks and a Comfort Strapp, probably the most comfy neoprene strap [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]you can get. It's adjustable from 100-118cm (39.5-46.5 inch approx.) hole-to-hole.[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]These seem to be going for ridiculous prices like £600-£800(!!), this is second-hand so looking [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]for £375-400, but am open to offers. Comes with a padded tweed gig bag. [/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Would prefer payment via Paypal. If you're interested please pm me and we'll sort out a price and postage![/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers, Dave[/font][/color]

Ps I'[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]d this posted in the effects for sale forum in a thread with a load of other things but didn't get any offers so thought it best to start a topic in the proper forum [/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Edited for a bit more detail[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Edit 2: Have managed to delete the original photos, and now I can't get the new ones to upload! Argh, help anyone?[/font][/color]

These are bloody brilliant basses! One of my favourites!

[Seyton]

Cheers charic. I'm surprised they're not more popular. I think they have a reputation more as jazz/funk-centric basses but I predominantly play metal and hard rock and it's always done me well

Price drop to £330!

Cheers, Dave

That's one wicked bass at a crazy price !

Best wishes with the sale

I have the 1998 TRB6II and I too use it in metal. No clue why they put these out as being for Jazz / Fusion. The electronics are so damn aggressive!
As for these ones, I only played a 5-string years ago and I forget; what is the neck like? My Jap series II is fat like a P-bass.
I know the spacing is 17mm on these, so closer than the Series 2, but what's the neck profile like?

Good lord that is a cheap price.
