TheGreek Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I've been very impressed with the build quality from Yamaha. The basses play like instruments twice the price, so if that's the case why not get two? Fretted and fretless TRB 1005.

I wish Yamaha would make a short scale bass, at this point there is really no good excuse for not offering at least one model. Preferably a short scale version of their BB design, but with just a reverse P pickup, no bridge J pickup, like the signature Peter Hook one, but with pickguard and 24 fret neck. If they did that I would get one as soon as I had the money to spare to do so. Edited May 24, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, just at least one short scale offering ought to not be too much to ask, there has never been a better market for short scale basses than currently, and it seems like just about every other big brand offers at least one short scale model, most several. Sorry about hijacking the thread. Edited May 24, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lucky enough to have a pair of TRB 5ii’s……..one fretted, one fretless. The 35” scale ensures a superb sounding B string as well as the bullet-proof Japanese build quality. I think Yamaha basses “punch well above their weight”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
