Introducing the Yamaha TRB5II.

Two words describe this guitar. HOLY PANTS. This guitar is what jazz is all about. Sporting the hefty yet relatively peanuts £869 RRP price tag, this guitar is THE best bass guitar I have EVER gotten my little mittens on.

Enough laying down the absolute praise, let's get down to business.

I bought this guitar for about £850 from my local guitar shop. It came ...
...a thru-neck design, with dual Yamaha humbucker pickups to really blast past the rest of the band if need be, giving you more growl and less noise. The guitar has an amazing 6 knobs!! Now, I have never been one to know what all these knobs do, so I am going to say that there is a volume control, a tone control and "the 4 other ones", which control the mix. You can really experiment with these controls, and the black studio-style knobs supplied ... more

These strings were made for playing

Advantages: Beautiful guitar, responds to all playing styles
Disadvantages: expensive

...I’m talking about is the Yamaha TRB5, and what a superb use of wood it is. I’d always been a bit sceptical about Yamaha guitar products, after all they almost build anything on the UK market from Motorcycles to Toilet seats (not really-only Joking), but still you can’t expect it to make better products than those companies solely devoted to the manufacture of musical instruments. So when I actually got to test ‘drive’ ...
...on colour and shape, so Yamaha have accommodated this by providing 4 sumptuous colours in a wood grain effect (I’m starting to sound like Lord Llewlyn Bowen?? Of Changing Rooms). The colours are Cherry Sunburst (mine), Amber Satin, Charcoal Grey and Blue Satin. The shape can be described as a mixture of Drew Barrymore and the new Jaguar S-type (sorry I can’t be more precise). The knobs, bridge and lead socket are all solid brass giving ...

A warm sounding, satisfying tone.

Advantages: Beautiful sound, but powerful all the same. Fret marks help guide the fingers
Disadvantages: Passive, and requires a battery. Battery case too big but easily solved.

...long fingers. He told me yamaha have high quality fretless basses at my budget. I searched on the internet for the ideal bass and I came across the Yamaha TRB1005F, made with quality maple woods and a great tone. I went to many bass shops in London to find something similar. They didn\'t have any yamaha basses but wide fret ones that sounded good. I decided then to purchase the yamaha over the internet. Although it take several months to be imported ...
...made it worth it. I decided to buy this bass due to the reliability of yamaha. Also the bass contained fret marks and although I have been playing the violin since I was very small and the double bass for enough time to have decent intonation, I thought it would be a wise idea to purchase a bass with fret marks as to aid my playing. These fret marks were useful at the start but now I\'ve been playing it a lot I have got a feel for it and I no longer ...
