The Yamaha TRB-1005J 5-string Bass Guitar is a high-performance, professional-grade instrument known for its “super long” 35-inch scale length, which provides extra tension for a tight and clear low B string. Originally designed in the late 1980s to compete with the low-frequency range of synthesizers, the TRB series is favored by session players for its versatility across genres like jazz, fusion, and gospel.
Key Specifications
- Scale Length: 35 inches (889 mm), designed to ensure “earth-shaking” low notes stay punchy and defined.
- Body Construction: Features an alder body with a premium quilted maple top, providing a balanced tone with high-end clarity.
- Neck: A stable 5-piece maple/mahogany bolt-on neck with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 frets.
- Electronics: Equipped with two Yamaha hum-canceled Alnico V single-coil pickups and an active 3-band EQ for precise tone sculpting.
- Hardware: Solid brass bridge for improved string vibration transfer and die-cast tuners for reliable stability.
Performance & User Experiencae
- Tonal Versatility: Users describe the sound as “bright and snappy,” similar to a high-end Jazz bass but with more modern “growl”. The active EQ allows for everything from “subtle nuances” to “dynamic, impactful output”.
- Playability: The neck features a flat “D” profile and a satin finish, which many players find fast and smooth.
- Build Quality: Often cited for its “typical Yamaha quality,” providing high value for the price. Some users note that older “Made in Japan” or “Made in Korea” models are highly sought after compared to newer Indonesian productions.
- Considerations: Due to the 35-inch scale and 5-string width, the neck can feel “huge” to those used to standard 4-string or short-scale basses.
