FS/FT: Yamaha TRB-6P (first gen)

[StuartV]

**SOLD!**

$1500 $1450 $1400, shipped to the CONUS.

Yamaha TRB-6P, honey colored. Single truss rod model. Serial number dates it to 1991, I think.

Cosmetically, it's in really good shape. You can tell it's been played. It has surface scratches on the back (which don't show up in the pictures). The Yamaha labeling on the pickup covers is pretty worn. But, no dings through the finish or anything like that. The plastic insert in the hole where you adjust the truss rod has some nicks in it, which you can see in the one picture.

Ships in non-original hard shell case.

This has wider string spacing than I like. I just got a Cirrus 6 to try next. In the meantime, for trades, the only thing I'm really looking for right now is, ideally, a magenta Peavey B-Quad 5. But, I would consider any B-Quad 4 or 5.

Really nice TRB6-P! yumyumy!

if you will try a Cirrus 6 be aware the strings spacing is very
tight! maybe 17mm

[StuartV]

I have a Cirrus 5. If the spacing on the Cirrus 6 is the same (which it sounds like it is), I will like it very much.

I've owned several Yamahas including both Myung signatures, and I'm convinced that the 1st gen TRB-6Ps are the best basses Yamaha has ever made- built like TANKS, play AMAZINGLY, and sound phenomenal.

And the wide spacing is a treasure on these. A 34" scale 6 string w/ 19mm spacing is a rarity. These truly are gems.

[TRBman]

What about a LEJ6 in 33" to trade?

Bump for an outstanding TB'er and a truly impressive instrument!

[StuartV]

Thanks, Dave!

TRBman, I'm pretty leery of a 33" scale B string. But, if you want to send me pics and specs (in particular, the string spacing), I'll have a look.

[TRBman]

Thanks Stu, PM or email sent to you with plenty pics

[StuartV]

Still available.

I picked up a Cirrus 6 on eBay last night. Too good a deal to pass up. So, I'd have to say my likelikhood to trade this TRB for another 6 has just gone down. At least until I get the Cirrus and try it out.

Pierro, I'm still looking for those pics. I'm not saying I wouldn't still consider a trade. It's just not as high on my list.

Meantime, this baby is still available. Make me an offer.

[TRBman]

Ok Stu,no problem if it's not the first on your list,i understand it pretty well, yes i'll send you an offer

[StuartV]

Yesterday was my birthday. Tonight is my first ever gig on bass.

Somebody buy this bass and make this my best week every!

[TRBman]

definitively not for a trade?
have a great birthday and weekend!
i've an Esh Jazzbass 5 (with pics)would you be interessed?

[73jbass]

Tobias Killer B 6?

[StuartV]

Thanks, man, but I'm totally happy with my Cirrus 6 right now and not looking for another 6-string. At this point, the only trade I'm really interested in is a Peavey B-Quad 5. Otherwise outright sale.

[StuartV]

Price drop bump.

[Dr. Cheese]

Six string, single coil TRBs are some of the best basses the world has ever heard or seen, IMO. I only hope some pop up when I have the cash to buy one.

[StuartV]

On hold pending payment.

Paid and delivered.
