Yamaha TRB5ii Question

I have a friend who just asked this question. I have no idea. Anyone?

"I have a mid 90s TRB5ii. It has a scalloped lower horn and I've been unable to find photos or listings of any others like it. Were ones with this feature only available for a limited time period?"

The model is usually stamped on the head front or back, the ii models seem to have it on the back. The ii is a bolt on and as Andy mentioned don’t have the scallops - which aren’t the same as the slap cut on the JP models.

as the slap cut . Although saying that there were several productions of them so there may be the odd anomaly. Helpful no? 😂 

I think the original TRB 5 also had a split neck pickup whereas the later ii had soapbar shaped pickups. 


Bass direct have a TRB 5ii and a TRB 5P (piezo) in stock so you can see the differences
