TRB 5P Neck specs

[funkydario]

Hi everybody 

 

New year and new bass. Just filling the configurator and deciding if it's gonna be a 5 strings Maruszczyk Frog or a Mensinger Joker B. 

So I do have a question for the ones owning a Yamaha TRB 5P.

I tried one once and just love the neck. It just goes with my hands perfectly.... Love at first touch. So I'd love to have my new bass with the same neck profile dimensions and radius. 

Does somebody have the exact dimensions of the neck? 

Tried Google but didn't find any. 

Thanx for helping

There's one listed here, with a few specs:  https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_TRB_5P.html

 

Of course, they might have varied the spec over time.  This looks similar to the current model 1005, so maybe not.

Thanks 

 

Radius is ok, need neck profile and thickness. 

 

Cheers

I have a fretless - PM me with more detail about which measurements you want.

Pretty sure yours is a TRB 5. TRB 5P is something else altogether.

Not sure if the neck profiles changed with the different models over the years? 

My Japanese Trb 6ii has an almost flat radius with 19/20mm bridge string spacing and 35” scale.
Others were 18mm and just under 34” scale. Some were neck through and later models bolt on. 
 

I thought the P versions were the same body and neck but with different eq and the added piezo bridge. 
 

Can you recall what model you originally tried?

That’s one of the early models. Shorter scale, single truss rod, neck through and one piece bridge. Great basses even now.

I thought that was what the 5P was?

 

Anyway, lovely basses!  I had a 5Pii and it was just a bit long and heavy for me.  A 5P would be amazing!
