YAMAHA / John Patitucci Model TRB-JP2 Amber [06]

A 6-string TRB model customized for John Patitucci!

John Patitucci is known worldwide for his superb playing, which brims with diverse musicality.
The TRB has been customized for John with a 35-inch (889 mm) super-long scale, 26 frets, and a specially tuned active 5-control system.
Super Long Scale: 35-inch Scale
The scale length has been increased from the standard model’s 34 inches to 35 inches. This achieves the improved intonation in the lower register and a more resonant sound requested by John Patitucci.
To counter the increased tension on the neck resulting from the longer scale, a volute (*) was added to the back of the headstock, and a quilted maple veneer was applied to enhance neck strength.
* Volute: A design feature that adds thickness to the back of the joint between the headstock and neck to increase strength
Weight Balance
To maintain weight balance with the super-long scale, lightweight resin tuners were adopted. Additionally, the string posts were changed from the conventional brass to aluminum to reduce weight.
26-Fret Configuration
In line with the scale length increase, the number of frets has been changed from the conventional 24-fret configuration to a 26-fret configuration. This improves the low-end sound and expands access to the high register, unlocking even greater potential for exceptional playing.
Solid Brass Bridge
Equipped with a newly developed solid brass bridge that reliably transmits string vibrations to the body with high conductive efficiency. The string spacing is 19 mm.
Active 5-Control System
Equipped with an Active 5-Control System that enables a wide range of tonal expression.
I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) Treatment
This technology reduces stress between the finish, adhesives, wood, and parts by inducing the optimal natural frequency—unique to each instrument—while it is still in tuned condition, making the instrument “ready to resonate” right out of the box.
