[dyerseve]

**SOLD STP**

 

Up for sale is my beautiful Yamaha TRB4 MkI with the "slapcut". This beauty was made in Japan in 1995.

 

Killer tone and amazing build quality as you would expect from a Japanese Yamaha. The pre amp plenty of sonic variations including user presets that you dial in within the control cavity, and then you can switch between them using the middle pot.

 

Controls are Vol, Blend, Treble, EQ, Bass. The EQ has 3 positions - 1st position = flat, 2nd pos = "EQ1 user definied", 2nd pos = " EQ2 user defined 2".

 

Lovely balance and lightweight at only 3.5kg!

Controls are volume, blend, tone, tone

 

Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 26 year old instrument. All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware. The fretboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished. There are the usual dings but not too many(see photos). As well as some light corrosion on the neck bolts and tarnish on the gold hardware. One of the battery terminals was corroded but I have cleaned this thoroughly.

 

BTW, the battery cover is not missing, I took it off to show the corrosion on the terminal.

The bass will be shipped in a high quality gigbag, packed within a strong shipping carton. 

 

Shipping to UK £55, EU £25 - cheaper options are available if I detach the neck and the buyer reattaches it upon arrival....

I've loved these since auditioning one at Manson's in exeter in the early 90's and it won out against a Sterling and US jazz. I finally picked one up last year and it won't be leaving any time soon.
