WITHDRAWN - Yamaha TRBX505 Satin White - final price drop and trades added £350 LU72SH

[willgatesbass]

Hi all - This is a Yamaha TRBX505 which I bought brand new in late Jan this year. I’ve gigged it a lot in the last year but it’s still in great condition with only a few small marks. Still looks very fresh. Here are the specs -

 

• Mahogany body
• Maple/ mahogany five-piece neck with rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays (satin finish on the back)
• Satin white finish with matching headstock
• Two humbuckers
• 18mm string spacing
• 34” scale
• Three-band onboard preamp
• Active/ passive switch
• Powered by a brand new 9v battery (low battery indicator located on rear control cover)
• Strung with D’addario nickel wound 45-130 with lots of life left
• Recently setup
• Tourtech Gig bag included - I believe this is Anderton's own brand? It's a budget gig bag but has a neck support, good zips and lots of padding. Plenty of pocket space too. Great condition. I used it to transport the bass inside an SKB Bass Safe.

 

Everything you’d expect from a Yamaha instrument - punches way above it’s price-point, plays beautifully and sounds great. A real work horse. 

 

I really like this thing but the arrival of a new custom Sandberg and the need for a new preamp pedal means it needs to go. 

 

Based in Linslade but I travel all over. I also still have the box the new Sandberg came in so postage would  be very easy at this point. 

 

£350

£325

£300

Interested in Precision basses. Would be willing to add money if needs be.

Price drop - £325 - Almost £200 off the price of a new one in this colour and comes with a gig bag.

That looks well nice. I googled around and here’s what Ed Friedland had to say about it:

Nice review. Exactly how I feel about this bass. If I had cash and space in abundance, I’d keep it

If I hadn't just lose 2 months of gigs, I'd have grabbed this. Great basses for the money.
