hey groovy, how does the trb 6 handle to yamahas standard 5 necks? ive been lookin at a few trbs but never managed to get my hands on a 6 in the shop, and one maybe my next buy......a while away but next.

also nice lookin bass there the xym, im intruiged by the myung (sp?) sig it looks a monster.

It's a wide neck, no lying about that. The width of it is fairly thin so it's easy on your hands.

I'm not sure about the newer models though, I'd guess that they would have the same specifications as mine, but you never know.
 
Here was my wall hanger investmen t. I ended up selling it because I decided I want to own basses I can play (was mint, unplayed)

I feel the pain, but the wait will make it that much sweeter when it arrives and you can play it :)

I just hope you don't have the production delay like I did with my RBXJM2 ;)

I have that same bass... Its # 158.. I posted it one one of these pages...

I was the same way about playing it, but then i just started playing it and it has to be my fav bass...

Cant wait to get another one...

BTW, what # am I????
 
OK, i can now qualify as a member of the club after receiving my TRB-6 today! *yohooo*

It's a Japanese-built one, with the tall and narrow pickups, not the later "soapbar" models. I'll get some photos up later on, just have to give it some tender loving care, first! :)

Here are the seller's photos:

I've been playing around with my TRB-6, and I'm in love (at least for the time being). I hope it'll stay that way for a while!

However, can someone please explain me the electronics? I've got what I believe is the 2-band eq with variable frequency point and mid cut/boost options. And there's the three way switch...

What exactly does these do, and how do you adjust them most effectively? I just don't want to start adjusting stuff and then be unable to get back to where I was! :)

So... if anyone has these data avaiable, I'd appreciate it!

From what I remember Yamaha's site has the schematics, parts list, and manuals for every bass they make.

Wow MrWalker I had to call home and make sure my bass was still in its case. Nice find. Did your bass get any interesting nicknames? My friends either call mine the landing strip or the aircraft carrier.

I'll check on the knobs when I get home. I thought the 3 way switch was a pickup selector switch, but I heard it was some kind of active/passive switch.
