The TRB1005 bass boasts top quality woods and electronics. With high-grade Alder body crowned by stunning Quilted Maple top and rock-solid 3-piece bolt-on Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard, the strings dig low and stay punchy. The 35" super long scale offers a tight feel with plenty of attack, even on earth-shaking low notes.

This model features two Alnico hum-canceling pickups, made exclusively for the TRB in Yamaha's Japan factory. The pickups are mated to a proprietary active preamp that features a three-band EQ, master volume and blend controls.

The TRB1005 bass sports die-cast machines and solid brass bridges. Other appointments include oval Mother-of-Pearl position marker inlays
