DSBass Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 To make a long story short. I just got a Yamaha TRB 5P. The neck got issues and Im not going to keep it. I also think its way to clanky sounding. Maybe I just got a bad ex. Haven't tried one before.Also I dont think its balanced to my liking when it hangs to the strap. So I have the opportunity to get a TRB 1005j instead. I know TRB 5P was a much more expensive bass but that doesn't matter to me. I want a bass that is allround. Hangs good on the strap. And sounds good without being to clanky. What do you think of the TRB 1005j? Especially you who have one. Do you think it would fullfill my needs? Cant find to many good videos or soundclips with it so if you have any you're more than welcome to post them here. Thanks//Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness21 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Stumbled across a YamahaTRB6PII bass in my local Cash Generator, these are discontinued aren't they? Thing looked flawless, £1400 seemed a decent price. Just don't know what I'd do with the extra two strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikanHannille Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) They are pretty good and can do any genre if you ask me. I owned 1005 and 5pii both at the same time. Strangely I prefer the 1005. Although not a J but they are pretty much identical. I only sold both of them for a much lighter 5 stringer which my shoulder can't thank me enough. EDIT: I'm not saying that 1005 is heavy but 5pii definitely is. It's because a have a shoulder problem for a long time now.

MikanHannille Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I meant my 1005 and 1005j. Just made in different countries. My 1005 was from Korea and 1005j is... well, Japan I suppose.

MikanHannille Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't think so. But I can't say for sure. Never had any issues with my 1005 or whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 TRB100J also has 19mm string spacing at the bridge and what looks to me like a wide fingerboard. If you didn't like the TRB5P you probably won't like this either. Maybe you should be looking at something with a 17.5mm spacing like a MusicMan, or something even narrower, maybe G&L?
