YAMAHA TRB CLUB

I have this exact bass but it's fretless and it has an EMG preamp... I don't know why, but it just came that way, I have no idea what year it was made. I love the sound and it plays great, my only problem is that the output signal is very low compaired to my other active basses. I am sure that is an issue with the preamp though.

[/QUOTvery very nice indeed, dont you just love those slap cutaways;)

Yeah, they really please me aesthetically. The cutaways really set these apart from the 2nd generation TRBs visually! Love that layer of Ash showing...

Mine's completely stock and came with extremely low action. I had to raise it for more atttack and sustain! I would love to hear your version of the bass!
 
Here are pics of my TRB-6P,i bought it recently and it comes with the addition of fitted SIMS Led,s,this is a really great bass!!

Here's my TRB6 II which was defretted when new by the Bass Centre in London. I am the second owner - 7stringbass was the original owner.

i didn't like the original knobs as they looked very cheap so I got some gold ones. Added my obligatory Star Wars knob, gold strap locks and 'unique' string choice :cool:
