Yamaha - TRB6P £1750 London / Spain

[Arnoldoc]

My collection doesn't fit in the studio anymore so thinning out the herd. Up for sale my Yamaha TRB6P (1st generation). Great classic bass guitar from Yamaha's hey days in the late 80s early 90s as famously used by Nathan East.

 

• 6 string
• neck through design
• 5 piece neck, ebony fingerboard
• maple body
• Alnico humcancelling coils
• Piezo
• 34'' scale (I believe technically it's 33 7/8).

 

No trades please. Some cosmetic wear as expected for a 35 year old instrument but well taken care of and otherwise working well and playing great - currently setup with a low action with no fret buzz.          

 

Happy to meet in London or Spain (Madrid/Valencia).

I note that the logos that should be on the headstock are missing, Has this bass been refinished?

[binky_bass]

I don't believe these came in a white finish and from looking at the photos it doesn't appear to be a factory quality finish, so I'd assume this was re-done at some point.

 

Do you know what the original colour was and why it might have been repainted? 

[Arnoldoc]

Not sure on the finish. I’ve seen most with translucent flamed maple finishes. I do tend to like white basses so when I saw it I bought it 3 years ago in its current state.

It's been refinished for sure as:

 

1. It's not an official TRB-6P (P stands for Piezo) colour as all colours were see through.

2. It's more than obvious as the Yamaha logo is not the correct one.

3. It's missing the TRB-6P logo on the ebony plated headstock.

4. It's missing the serial number at the back of the headstock.

5. Here are some photos of one of mine with official Yamaha catalogues extracts.
