Sanders recently acquired three Yamaha basses: TRB1004, a BB2024! "All three are very aesthetically pleasing right out of the box--they're easy on the eyes," he says. "I'm not a fan of neck-heavy guitars, but they were comfortable as soon as I strapped them on. And when I plugged them in, they sounded rich and warm with good presence."
