AND GONE :)


Up for sale or trade is my excellent condition Yamaha TRB6P.

This is the legendary six string bass adopted by John Patitucci when he made the move from Ken Smith basses to Yamaha. This is an unusual one in that it is unmodded, in virtually new condition (except for the covering on one of the tuners, see pics. Totally cosmetic and the tuner works fine) and it comes in a very unusual factory sunburst that was only featured on the later models. The maple wings are irridescent and very tiger striped (see pics). It's a beautiful bass.

Specs are

Maple neck with mahogany stringers/ neck through construction
Flame maple wings
Ebony fretboard 33 7/8" scale length 24frets (in very good condition)
"Tequila sunrise" finish

Yamaha 2 band active EQ

Piezo sensors in bridge and piezo balance in the preamp (heaps of dub bass or top end sheen etc)

Removable ramp

Wide fingerboard and 19mm spacing at bridge

Rosewood facing on headstock

 

It's an utterly fantastic bass that I would love to keep (I'm always bringing a great six string into the fold and then moving it on as I don't play in bands that need them...a familiar tale). Right now though, I need a different flavour in the band to the Stingrays I tend to use....all my other basses are 4 string Stingrays ;)...something 'Fendery' or a variation on that theme with 4 or 5 strings...possibly passive? Hence the quite broad trade list above...

 

Balance is excellent and the construction is rigid and resonant. It sustains forever. It weighs in the region of 10 1/2 pounds and is not a bass for those who like a light bass. It's the most responsive, stable bass I've ever owned due to the maple/ebony etc but that feel comes with a bit of  heft. Comes with original case. Not so keen on shipping so would prefer a meet up...
