I bought Yamaha TRB1005 5-String Electric Bass after testing many basses both new and used, some of which cost twice as much and one that actually cost 3x as much and without any exaggeration, I can say that this bass outperformed them all. The three band EQ lets me dial up various tones and I can go from a nice attacking slap tone to muddy Dub and from growling rock to smooth pop. Yamaha TRB1005 5-String Electric Bass The only gripes are that the higher frets are slightly difficult to play as the the bolt on neck has 6 screws (more of the neck is attached to the body)and the neck is slightly wider than I am used too. I also wish the body were slightly smaller. If you just look at the `quilted` area, that would be the perfect body shape for a bass. But I guess in bass as well as in life, more wood is better than less wood ;) When it comes to tone this lady sings every note. And there is not one single dead note on the entire fretboard. I play in a cover band and we do everything from Linkin Park to UB 40 and this bass handles everything very well with it`s own characteristics. Those looking in this price range should also check out Cort`s A5 (has a passive/active switch) and those with slightly more money to spend should consider a Warwick, but the TRB1005 is definitely more flexible. If lost/stolen, I`d replace this bass in a heartbeat.
