Paulhauser Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I think these are some of the best production basses ever. I had a sixer a few years back and it was wonderful albeit the nech was quite substantial for me, both in width and thickness so I sold it in the end, much to my regret. Congratulations @nilorius! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, i feel much confortable with this 5 neck than with my Fender Jaco 4 string neck, but it's always different for anyone on earth.

BlueMoon Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nice one! Yamaha often reassures, and sometimes surprises. I find their quality control very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 For a short try, i found that piezzo pickup could give a great intonation especially when playing together with acoustic instruments and brass, not needed for all the time but very usefull at special moments. Anyway i havent tried the instrument with my Aguilar tonehammer and sl112, just on headphones from amp ballanced out to focusrite scarlet. Anyway - impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I love this body shape - I have 2 TRB1005 basses, so well balanced - joy to play. There's a blue 5er on Gumtree at the moment for £500, along with a 614, a 615 and a 1025x at reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Great score! I loved the TRB5II's I owned, they felt incredibly solid and well-built. They were the regular bolt-on neck model without piezo's, but still a very flexible and versatile workhorse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
