Yamaha TRB5PII

Yamaha TRB5PII

A stupendous hybrid five-string bass with the added musical expression of piezo-loaded bridges and the visual beauty of optional front and back timbers.

TRB Series Electric Bass, 5-String Neck-thru Bass with Active Electronics

This new TRB5PII high-end bass offers the true pro and collector an incredible playing experience. This neck-thru bass uses the same TRB body, neck, and headstock design with new premium woods.

The TRB5PII's layered body wings are exquisitely crafted from lightweight ash and a choice of flamed maple, ovangkol or bubinga fronts and backs - mated to long-scale, two-octave, through-body necks for optimum sustain, tonal response and playing range.

In addition to a pair of powerful Alnico V double-coil pickups, each model features individual brass mini-bridges for each string, loaded with a piezo pickup system. A pickup balancer and separate piezo volume control allow the sound sources to be blended together which, in conjunction with the three-band active EQ, offer a simply amazing range of sounds and tonal subtleties - from sparkling and acoustic-like to full-on low-end beef.

Active 3-band EQ
An active control system featuring a 3-band EQ gives the TRB series basses even more tonal versatility. Precise control provided by the continuous mid-range EQ control offers wider tonal possibilities and lets you find that sweet spot with ease.

New Electronics
A quieter, cleaner ciucuit improves the overall sound quality.

Real-Time Midrange Control
Full range and sweep of mid frequencies.

Humbucking Pickups
Humbuckers give the bass more growl and less noise.

Finishes
Maple, Bujbinga, or Ovankol top
