Yamaha 6-String John Patitucci Signature Bass, Amber Key Features

• White Perloid Peg Heads – White perloid peg heads aid in balancing the super long scale neck while adding great looks.
• TRBJP2 Custom Pickups – Pickups are a custom Alnico V design. The low-noise 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.
