A 6-String TRB in Yamaha's "performance" spirit
The TRB1006JNT continues the line of Yamaha basses designed for bassists seeking precision, comfort, and versatility. Its design emphasizes a fast response and improved definition in the low spectrum, with a slightly longer neck that enhances attack feel and note sustain, especially on the low strings.
Who is this bass for and which styles?
With its 6 strings, 24 frets, and 3-band active EQ, this Yamaha mainly targets intermediate to advanced bassists who want to explore an extended range (deep lows and singing highs) without losing clarity. It is particularly suited for funk, modern rock, metal, gospel, fusion, and chordal playing, while remaining relevant for recording thanks to its ability to finely shape the tone.
Sound
The alder + maple combination offers an excellent compromise: alder provides a balanced foundation and good warmth, while the maple top enhances definition and attack, useful for keeping lows clean on a 6-string. The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck promotes stability and consistent sustain, with a crisp response under the fingers. The two Alnico humbuckers deliver a full and powerful sound, and the 3-band preamp allows quick adjustment of bass, mids, and treble levels depending on the context. With the Volume and Balance controls, you can shift from a more massive and deep sound to a more punchy and articulated register, ideal for cutting through the mix.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of its 35" / 889 mm scale length, prioritize a 6-string bass extra-long scale (35") string set, ensuring a proper length up to the tuning machines. A standard bass strap (classic ends) is also recommended to improve comfort, especially considering the instrument's weight.
