FS/FT - Nr Mint 1994 Yamaha TRB6 Six String (£1400) £1650

[Cairobill]

This magnificent TRB6 is on the block as I’m on a one bass only regime and need four strings imminently. 

This is the early version of the TRB6. Having owned a Patitucci TRBJP1, it's of the same high quality build and has the same spec apart from no maple cap on the body and with a huge slab of high quality rosewood with dots instead of ebony/clef inlays. Pretty sure the preamp is identical.

The bass has an ash body, maple neck, rosewood board and, most importantly in my book, a 34" scale. Weight is also great and unusual coming in around 9.5 lbs (4.3kgs).

It has a great balance and a wonderful J bass tone with a lot of heft and shapeability with the powerful EQ.

Condition is excellent - I even have the little plastic clip on guide to the preamp. 

Trades are welcome for the following basses. All would need to be on the lighter side of 9.5lbs for a Yamaha (as the old BBs trend heavy) and around or under 9lb for anything else. As I'm the singer in my band, I need something that won't load me up too much.

- Yamaha BB2000
- Yamaha BB3000
- Fender AVRI P bass
- Stingray Classic
- Fender USA Geddy J Bass

Pickup/meetup preferred. I’m nr Ashford in Kent.

Nice looking bass in great condition and quite tempting 👍 Might help the sale to say where you are based 🤷‍♂️ If, like your name, its in Cairo, it may reduce your possibilities! 🤣🤣

Yup demo sounds a good idea. It’s absolutely fearsome, this bass. Will sort!
