The Yamaha TRBX505 5-string bass not only looks great, but it also plays great. It's constructed of a solid mahogany body finished in a satin translucent white finish. It offers a super-comfortable 5-piece maple/mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. Straight string pull improves tuning; the satin finish keeps it smooth and easy to play.
Twin H5 humbuckingpickups run through a preamp with 3-band active EQ—and a passive/active switch allows tonal flexibility. This active EQ lets you sculpt the perfect sound for your live gig or studio session—no matter what sound you need.
The high-mass die-cast bridge, output jack and tuners are all heavily plated to give you years of maintenance-free service.
Why We Like the TRBX Series
These basses play and sound like much more expensive instruments. The necks feel fantastic and the active electronics deliver punch and tonal flexibility we don't normally see at this price point. It would be hard to recommend a bass with better features for the money.
