The TRB Series: Yamaha's DNA Dedicated to Precision
The TRB range is designed for bassists seeking a clear response, great note-to-note clarity, and a versatile platform for both studio and stage. The TRB1005J fits this philosophy with luthiery focused on definition and a longer scale length, crafted to enhance sustain and precision in the low registers.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
This electric bass is especially suited for intermediate to advanced musicians who want an instrument capable of handling varied setups and demanding contexts. Its balance and active electronics make it comfortable in modern rock, metal, funk, gospel, fusion, and pop, offering excellent articulation for fast lines and more aggressive playing.
Sound
The alder body provides a full low-midrange and even response, while the maple top adds attack and brightness, useful for highlighting playing details. The maple/mahogany multi-piece neck promotes stability and a firm attack, and the rosewood fingerboard contributes to a warmer and smoother feel in the highs. The 2 Yamaha Alnico humbucking pickups deliver a rich and quiet signal, and the 3-band active EQ allows quick adjustment of bass, mids, and treble, from round and deep tones to more punchy and defined sounds. The Volume and Balance controls facilitate blending between the two pickups to fine-tune the character.
