No longer available Yamaha TRB 5P

Here is an early 90's beautiful highly figured Yamaha bass. The workmanship of these instruments are second to none and were designed to compete with basses produced in the late 80's early 90's Golden Era (Smith, Tobias, Spector, Modulus Graphite, MTD etc.).

I find it to be very playable and a very effective Live and Studio bass (Abraham Laboriel has used this model extensively as well as John P).

Basically I am paring down a large collection of instruments and focusing on only a few select basses to do what I would like to do musically, thus I am not really interested in trades. Thanks anyways.
SPECS
AAA Quilt Amber Maple top and back
5 piece neck thru 24 fret ebony board
PJ active pickups with Piezo (2 position select with a Blend control of Piezo to Magnet pickups)
Fingerboard Spacing 0 fret= 43.0mm . 12fret= . 65.9mm
Condition 9 out of 10
Non original case.

Feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks

 

Yeah man. Thanks. I've never seen one so highly figured either front and back

Yes sir it is 34 inch scale.

 

Yes it is 34 inch scale. It is the TRB 5P II that has a 35 inch scale. I had one of those but I feel the original TRB 5P is a superior instrument and more playable because of the 34 inch scale.

 

YES I agree. These are somewhat RARE and are very impressive build quality also

 

I'd say about 9 and a half pounds. NOT a heavy bass and very comfortable sitting or standing.

 

YES 34 inch

 

yes

 

????? I don't understand your rationale at all .....other than they are 2 different basses--whether the pickups are the same or not--the preamps are light years apart. It's kinda like you can put EMG pickups in a $1K Jazz bass and the same pickups are in a $12K Fodera Victor Wooten. The width at the bridge is 19 mm for both models. I have a BB5000A WIDE. However the neck is wider along its length on the BB 5000A. So I'm not sure I get ypour point. They are 2 different basses, and that's simply how I see it, one is a BB series and the other is TRB series ?
