FS: Yamaha TRB-IIF 5-string fretless - *WITHDRAWN* £1000 Bath

[Jakester]

***edit - deciding to keep this for now***

 

For sale  is my lovely Yamaha TRB-IIF 5-string factory fretless bass in trans blue. 

 

It's a 35" scale factory fretless version of the well-regarded TRB-II basses. Made in Japan between 1998 and 2004, these were top of the line instruments, featuring Yamaha Alnico single-coil hum cancelling pickups and Yamaha's TRB 'Q-mix' 3-band preamp. This is an absolutely lovely example; there's some very small dings on the top but otherwise it's amazing for a 25+ year bass. 

 

The serial no suggests it was made in 2000 (if I've read this guide correctly). 

 

It has 18mm string spacing, and is currently fitted with DR Legend flatwounds. I think I have some Rotosound tapewounds if you would prefer. A lovely low action and amazing fretless tone. 

 

Got Basschat strap holders on ATM - I'll remove those and the strap unless you desperately want them. 

 

I think £900 is a fair value, looking at some others for sale ATM,  but happy to consider offers. I much prefer a meet up than posting so you can be absolutely happy with what you're buying, but will post (UK only) if you’re desperate. 
 

I’ve agreed to buy a bass so this is now for sale only. 

 

Thanks for reading!

I have trouble getting my head round this still being available....it used to be mine... @Jakester and I did a deal some time ago with a TRB1005J coming my way...

 

Now anybody that has owned one of these knows how good they are - very playable, lovely neck, huge tonal range, quality hardware - if you are looking for a beautiful bass with those credentials this would be a wise purchase...

Thanks @TheGreek, the immediate pressure to sell is receding, so I'm beginning to change my mind and may well keep it.
