Today we're having a look at a really special bass made by Yamaha, the TRB-1005J. The Yamaha TRB series was first introduced in the 80's as the antithesis of the vintage basses of the time. Featuring crystal clear electronics, an active preamp, and extended range options, the TRB was Yamaha's first foray into modern bass design. There have been many different TRB models over the decades, and today we're looking at the most recent (and perhaps the last) TRB model from Yamaha.
