Yamaha TRB5 II made in Japan
€1500
One of Yamaha's most iconic basses, the TRB 5 II was made in Japan in the late 90s.
This bass is a true professional workhorse, known for its massive sound, excellent low-B string definition, and the stunning original Orange See-Through finish, which leaves the wood grain fully visible.
The original MIJ (Made in Japan) TRB line is widely considered far superior to modern reissues, offering a build quality and wood selection worthy of a boutique luthier instrument.

I am selling it because I haven't used it in a long time. It was my first bass, and I now prefer a more vintage aesthetic.
Key Features:
- Origin: Made in Japan (Late 90s)
- Finish: Translucent Orange / Orange See-Through
- Body: Premium Ash
- Neck: Bolt-on with a 24-fret fingerboard (35" long scale)
- Electronics: Original Yamaha 3-band active preamp
- Pickups: Yamaha hum-canceling J-style (low noise, high output)
Condition:
The bass is in excellent overall condition for its age, with the electronics working 100% and a perfectly functional truss rod. It only shows normal cosmetic wear expected on a vintage instrument that is around 30 years old (minor surface scratches, with no impact on sound or playability).

A rare opportunity to acquire a modern Yamaha classic that continues to appreciate in value.
