I have a couple of Yamaha basses, a BB300AF that has become my go-to bass and a Motion B MB III that was purchased new in Japan in '88.
I really need to get better pix of these. The BB is a pearl white '88 and all original. The Motion B is an '86.

Well as soon as my bass gets here I will be apart of the club. I finally own a TRB6, a bass Ive been wanting forever! Copped it from a fellow TBer. I'll have more pics when it comes, but this is it:
I had a BB415 a couple years ago, but unfortunately I sold it...
But I'm SO coming back to the club, just found a great deal on a RBX5 A2!
Next week (or the one after that) I'll come with pictures!

Has anyones changed the pick ups on their TRB6,TRBJP or TRB6P. I am looking to change them, but don't know which way to go. I have a TRBJP...suggestions?
My TRB6II has emg pickups, and they work fine also in more rock-oriented situations, but for trb6, bartolini seems to have some narrow soapbar -type pickups. How they sound, well that's something I can't answer. But I think they would fit to the original pickup spaces.
cool man,
did you notice a big change in sound when you changed the stock to EMG? from I have read, EMG are hotter, punchier..
you are right about bartolinis shape, the G6 shape fits my bass perfectly, and I am tempted to try them.
I am looking for a more open single coil sound...but the Nordstrand big singles don't fit my bass.....
I would have to do some kind of surgery to it...
so far, I think Bartolini and EMG's make the size for the TRB's 6 (first versions)

I can't answer that either; I bought the bass second hand and the previous owner had changed the pickups. But he said he didn't like the sound of the original pickups at all and as far as I can say, my bass sounds great 
The acoustic, ergonomic and build quality properties of the TRB6II are very good and by changing better electronics, it becomes one very versatile bass! (it has also the EMG BQS System preamp). I think these pickups could be described as quite hot and punchy but like I said, I don't have a direct comparison.
One fellow bassist who has the TRB5II doesn't like the stock pickups either.
But I have understood (and heard from records) that the narrow stock pickups in TRB6s and JP's sound great as they are.

umm here's my BB414X in Vintage White, exactly the same as 414 except with pickguard
This is my first bass and I've been playing bass for only 1 year
may I get my number?

I hope this gorgeous bass delivers me a place in you club
I don't normally like black basses but that thing is sweeet.
