Yamaha guitars, basses and amplifiers are not a product of a single shop or factory. A worldwide network of design, development and production facilities translate into a large group of highly talented individuals working as a team to bring forth innovative ideas and designs.

TRB Bass Series
For sheer power and near-orchestral range, it's tough to beat our TRB bass series. The 6-string TRB6II is a serious low-end macine with 6-bolt, dual-truss rod (TRBJP, TRB6II) rosewood-on-maple neck, finely sculpted ash body, smoothly ergonomic cutaway and neck joint, and bottom-anchoring brass bridge. Our 1998 refinements include a pair of beefy humbuckers, 35" scale length, and active electronics with surgically accurate three-band EQ.
35" Scale Length
Extending the string length improves note definition (especially on the low B string).
New Electronics
A quiter, cleaner circuit improves the overall sound quality.
Real-Time Midrange Control
Full range and sweep of mid frequencies.
Humbucking Pickups
Humbuckers give the bass more growl and less noise.
