I got a Little Mark II paired with a Epifani UL210 Series I cab and it sounds fantastic.As for the low-mids I think the cab itself is a little relaxed in that area which is probably a part of the problem for trying to get that tone your looking for.The Little Mark II EQ is well voiced for the...

It seems alot of people prefer the Artist over the Heir but I don't understand why this is so.Is the pickup placement of the MM style pickup slightly closer to the neck that important?I could see it being a bit warmer and balanced versus the Heir's MM pickup soloed but having 2 pickups seems to...

Hey everyone I'm looking to get into fretless bass.I want to get something decent but not overly expensive.The top choices are either a Squier VM Fretless,MTD Heir/Artist/Z, Warwick Corvette or Lakland 5501. Now I hear alot of good things about the Squier but compared to these basses I'm...

Sorry to hear you still haven't got yours I was very lucky it was the only TRB1006 natural in Canada at the time I ordered it and it was in Vancouver and I got it in 5 days in Nova Scotia. When I seen the pictures I thought it would be very wide too but I was surprised once I got it.The...

Man I can't believe I waited this long to get the Yamaha TRB bass because I had some high expectations and many worries about the neck and other things but all that was quickly gone as soon as I put my hands on the bass I'm VERY impressed so far with this bass,I can't believe I doubted Yamaha...

Well guys I couldn't stand it anymore I've been debating dozens of 5 or 6 strings for months now so I finally went ahead and ordered the TRB1006! Although I'm sure the Lakland is a great bass I'd much rather order it locally where I work incase something ever goes wrong,the great deal I get...

Great thanks alot seems like the neck is pretty manageable then at that size.Having only briefly tried an Ibanez SR506 and BTB1206 Prestige for sixes I wouldn't want the neck to be much bigger then those.I'll have to get used to the tighter spacing but I can live with that since I don't do any...

That's good to hear about the output I play with a pretty light touch so good action and high output really helps me out seeing as guitar is my primary instrument so my right hand fingers still need to work up strength.I'm sure you meant 45mm and 75mm otherwise that would be quite a neck! :smug...

Hey everyone.I've finally narrowed down my search for a new 5 or 6 string bass and it comes down to these 2 basses.I've been eyeing up the TRB1006 for a long time now and finally Yamaha has lowered the prices considerably in Canada from the strong dollar.Since I can get the Yamaha at cost from...

I got to see Dream Theater for the first time at Jones Beach NY this August and it was mind blowing!I was surprised how bright and aggressive his tone was live but it was nice and clear with his Bongo.I have to mention we were the last guys to meet them at Looney Tunes CD store which is another...

After looking for a while I'm thinking of sticking with my original idea and sticking with a Yamaha TRB1006 or TRB6II I like their stuff in general and they always seem a good value and well built.But it's going to have to wait since I ended up buying a bass rig first.I got a Markbass Little...

Yeah I've been looking on ebay alot lately there's some good deals on some TRB's I'm tempted to score one but I'd like to hear opinions on all the basses first including the TRB1006 too. Sorry if I confused you but I meant I like Yamaha products in general I haven't tried the Yamaha TRB1006 the...

Hello everyone I need some help deciding on a 6-string bass.I live in a small town in Nova Scotia,Canada and it's impossible to try any decent basses let alone 6-string basses without driving 5-6 hours or possibly more so I'm hoping people that have experience with these basses can help me...
