Yamaha TRB4II Bass Guitar
This is a brand new Yamaha TRB4II 4-string bass guitar!
The serial number is OFM2005 which indicates that it was built in Japan in the year 2000.
This is what is known as new old stock (NOS). This wonderful instrument has been let out of the vault and is presented for sale here, for the very first time.
The bass has been checked over, given our Pro-SCM treatment and strung with flat wound strings. To say that it plays and sounds amazing is an understatement.
Yamaha created quite a sensation amongst Bass players when they first released their TRB series bass guitars. It didn’t hurt either that their major endorsee for this new line was electric bass maestro, John Pattituci playing a signature 6-string model.
Upon its release, the 4-string TRB4II offered some notable refinements over the first series. The upgrades include[d a pair of beefy humbucking pickups, 35″ scale length and active electronics with surgically accurate three-band EQ.
This Yamaha TRB4II is a serious low-end machine with a premium Rosewood-on-Maple neck, finely sculpted ash body, smoothly ergonomic cutaway and neck joint, and bottom-anchoring brass bridge.
It comes complete with the original Yamaha Case and Yamaha warranty.
All photos are of the actual bass – more are available upon request. Inspection by appointment.
