Yamaha TRB5PII Bass Guitar features layered body wings, which are exquisitely crafted from lightweight ash and a choice of flamed maple. Yamaha TRB5PII also features either ovangkol or bubinga fronts and backs, mated to long-scale, two-octave, through-body necks for optimum sustain, tonal response and playing range. Active Electronics round out the TRB-5PII package.
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.
An active control system featuring a 3-band EQ gives Yamaha TRB5PII 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.
