Description
Built in close collaboration with legendary bassist John Patitucci, this 6-string electric bass takes Yamaha's acclaimed TRB series to new heights. John meticulously tailored every detail to meet the demands of professional performance and expression. The body features a 4-ply laminate construction—combining ash and alder, two staples of vintage tonewoods, and capped with stunning figured maple for enhanced clarity and visual appeal.
An extended 26-fret ebony fingerboard allows for greater melodic range, especially ideal for solo bass work. The bolt-on neck construction was purposefully selected by John to provide a warm, rounded low end. The custom-voiced alnico V humbucking pickups and flexible electronics deliver a tone palette suited for virtually any musical setting, from jazz to fusion to contemporary styles. Anchoring it all is a solid brass bridge, chosen for its rich resonance and sustain.
