funkydario Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 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 Dario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling_in2_infinity Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited January 20, 2022 by falling_in2_infinity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure yours is a TRB 5. TRB 5P is something else altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 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?

Great basses even now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5P would be amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
