jimbobothy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Hi folks, I recently bought a couple of basses through this very forum, a natural TRB 1005 lined fretless and a translucent red TRB 1005 fretted. I guess my plan was to have two basses that were the same so switching between the two would be very natural! However even though the basses are both very comfortable and nice to play they are just not me, If you know what I mean. I'm now asking for £315 for each of them (they both now come with nearly new Gator hardcases (themselves £65 each)). I'd rather not post but if you wanted to arrange a courier at your own expense I would pack them up for you so they could be collected, Photos below: [attachment=47116:TRB_1005...sses_005.JPG] [attachment=47117:TRB_1005...sses_006.JPG] [attachment=47118:TRB_1005...sses_007.JPG] [attachment=47119:TRB_1005...sses_009.JPG] [attachment=47121:TRB_1005...sses_014.JPG] [attachment=47122:TRB_1005...sses_016.JPG] [attachment=47123:TRB_1005...sses_018.JPG] [attachment=47124:TRB_1005...sses_019.JPG] [attachment=47125:TRB_1005...sses_020.JPG] [attachment=47126:TRB_1005...sses_022.JPG] Edited May 3, 2010 by jimbobothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd be interested in the fretted, sure - what scale length is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attached link takes you to Yamaha's web pages.

Smer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 [quote name='jimbobothy' post='803830' date='Apr 12 2010, 02:33 PM']Hi folks, I recently bought a couple of basses through this very forum, a natural TRB 1005 lined fretless and a translucent red TRB 1005 fretted. I guess my plan was to have two basses that were the same so switching between the two would be very natural! However even though the basses are both very comfortable and nice to play they are just not me, If you know what I mean. Just wondering if anyone is interested in buying (which I would prefer) or trading? I'm asking for £325 for each of them (they both now come with nearly new Gator hardcases (themselves £65 each)). I'd rather not post but if you wanted to arrange a courier I would pack them up for you so they could be collected. Or, Do you have a jazz bass of any description you'd like to trade. I'd consider a bass + cash your way if you have a rather fine example (either a 4 or 5 string, don't really mind to be honest!) If there is any interest I'll get some photos on as I don't have access to a camera right now!! James.[/quote] Hi, can you send it to Portugal?

kets Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sorry to see you're selling the fretless so soon Jim. Folks, I was the previous owner of the fretless and can confirm that it's a lovely bass, especially at this price with a gator case! Kets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
