ash Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Here’s a rather lovely Yamaha TRB 6 Japanese model. I think it dates from the early 2000’s as the previous owner bought it used around 10 years ago. It’s active for a wide variety of sounds and a broad tonal range. The neck is straight and true, frets have plenty of life and it has a low action. I’ve not touched the trussrods but they look in good condition the laminate neck is wide but comfy due to the shallow profile. All hardware is gold plated and the body and headstock fascia has a transparent red/cherry finish. Typical Yamaha exceptional build quality it’s a very playable high 6 string for not much dosh. No trades sorry, this comes with a gigbag so I’d prefer pickup. UK only. There’s one cosmetic ding on the body near to where the neck bolts on and a couple around the body edge, the neck is excellent.The back cover of one tuner is missing. The bass weighs a healthy but well balanced 5.2kgs. Edited November 8, 2017 by ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee650 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Awww Ash mate!! If you'd put this up a week ago, I'd have had it!! I've just sold my ray, but bought a new power supply and life absorbed the rest. I'd love to try this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
