Yamaha TRB5II:For Sale

Sign in to disble this ad
This is a great playing TRB5II that was made in 1998. It is in nearly the same shape as the pic shown here except for a tiny nick on the back that I just did last Sunday. The bass weighs 8 lbs. and it has a hard shell case. I would prefer not to sell, but I may need to generate some cash with this bass, and pick up a TL-5 that I had been slowly paying off to give myself as a birthday present. Right now, I just want to know if anyone would want the bass for $550 local pickup or $550 plus shipping to the USA and Canada. Recents pics in later posts of the thread. SOLD

An 8lb TRB5II?? Inconceivable! If I had the cash, I'd do it! Dang it Cheese! By the way, any sound clips?

No, I don't want to let it go particularly, but a pretty major unexpected bump might force me to do it.

At least, I will be able to pick up a pretty nice TL-5 that I was planning to make birthday present any way.

This is a sweet one Doc. Played one like this at a music store back in the day and have wanted one since. Is it 34" or 35". Love the grain on this one too. If I only had the extra coinage.

It's 35". I feel you about wanting the extra coinage.
