Yamaha TRB 5 II now FS £800 £1000 Ealing

[Steff]

Posting up my Yamaha TRB 5 II for trade. 
 

Made in Japan in the 2000 I believe, 4.6kg on bathroom scales. Good overall condition with some tarnishing on the gold hardware which is to be expected for the age. Sounds like it should and plays lovely with a low action. 
 

There is some fret wear at the 1-7 frets (previous owner must have been a real bread and butter guy 😂) but still allows for a very low action without much fret buzz (I’ve set it up so that it has some because that’s how I like it). 
 

I’ve done the “Marcus Miller mod” as discussed on TalkBass - turning the neck pickup 180 degrees so that the sensing coil gets closer to the neck - that creates more of a Marcus tone, but easily reversible if needed. 
 

I’m not really interested in selling this one - posting it to see if there’s any interesting trade offers, or in addition to my Kiesel and MTD Kingston AG5 I have up for trade for a higher value bass. 
 

Only interested in trading for 5 and some 6 string basses - not looking for any 4’s. 
 

Cannot post but happy to travel for shared petrol costs.

Bump for added sale option. Would consider trades for Fender P / PJ 5 string or Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5.
