Yamaha TRBJP2 John Patitucci Signature 6-String Bass in Amber

Presenting the Yamaha TRBJP2 John Patitucci Signature 6-String Bass, this one in Amber.

Newly upgraded with a 35" scale neck with 26 frets, it features an Active Preamp with 5 controls includes a 3 band EQ tuned to John's specifications.

In the nearly 20 years since John Patitucci first gained recognition as a member of Chick Corea's legendary Electric Band, he has established himself as one of the best jazz bassists of his time. Shifting seamlessly from a bandleader to respected sideman, John relies on his TRB JP2 signature 6-string bass to fit any role.

JP2 Features at a Glance:

White Pearloid Peg Heads: White pearloid peg heads aid in balancing the super long scale neck while adding great looks.

Custom Pickups: The JP2's Pickups are a custom Alnico V design. The low-noise side-by-side double-coil pickups deliver clear tonal image even when playing chords.

Solid Brass Bridge: A massive solid brass bridge delivers a clear and rich sound.

4-Ply Laminated Body: The 4-ply laminated body is crafted from plies of figured maple, ash, alder, and maple. This design produces tight and rich resonation over the instrument's entire range. A slap cut on the body offers greater string access.

26-Fret Neck: The 35-inch (889mm) super long scale neck has 26 frets. The maple neck is fitted with double truss rods to sufficiently counter tension produced by the instrument's six strings.

Active Electronics: The 5-control active electronics system offers a wide palette of tonal variation. Everything from subtle variations in tonal nuance to dynamic sound output is possible.
