lee650 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Up for sale, is my fantastic Yamaha TRB1005, 5 string bass in translucent Black. Features an Alder body with a Quilted maple top and some beautiful contouring on the body. It has a 35" scale neck and two huncancelling single coils with a three band EQ, bass weighs 10lbs. This is one of the earlier Korean models which has better pickups/preamp and hardware than the later Indonesean 1005J models. It's a very rock and roll looking bass,with its stealth like look. sonically this bass is capable of any style of music. It has a very clear Hifi tone,and a very tight and defined B string, absolutely great for Metal 😂 It's seen a few gigs and has plenty of mojo. The only really obvious mark is quite a big scratch,where the B strings goes into the bridge (see photo),but works perfectly and has a nice low action. To be transparent! a hinge has gone missing in the battery compartment,however it doesn't move and has caused no issues. It does not have a case,however it will be boxed securely and thoroughly cleaned prior to dispatch via courier. It has also recently been restrung with a new set of D'addario strings, and I'll include a fretwrap SOLD!

lee650 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Thanks Gents I'd happily keep it! however with these constant lockdowns,i need to convert my house so my children can have their own rooms and space to study/escape. Means I lose my bass corner in my big room 😂 C'est la vie!! Edited January 7, 2021 by lee650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Surprised this is still here. As Cameron says a lot of bass for the wedge. Plus it is impregnated with Lee's bass mojo! Worth 340 sheets alone! Edited January 8, 2021 by andybassdoyle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 For anyone that fancies jumping on this massive bargain of a bass. I'll throw in one of those fret wrap things,so that your tapping riffs on this 35" scale beast are clean as a whistle 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
