The Yamaha TRBX Bass has a Mahogany body with a mass optimised 3D design for a great balance between tone and comfort. A high-mass die-cast bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body for full, rich tone combined with excellent adjustability and road-tested durability. 19mm string spacing offers outstanding playability for technical slap or finger styles. Yamaha's metal plate-mounted standard jack socket offers superior durability and easy maintenance.
The neck design combines a fast, ultra comfortable profile with 5 piece Maple/Mahogany laminated construction resulting in stability and excellent tone. TRBX uses a precision fitted bolt-on neck joint for maximum adjustability and clear, punchy tone. Developed through hundreds of hours of play-testing, the refined neck joint is shaped perfectly for strength, vibration transfer and upper-fret access. Straight string pull from nut to machine head eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones. A 38mm nut width gives fast, comfortable playability for any style.
YGD designed H5 pickups have a clear, open tone that's perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. The quad-polepiece design and alnico magnets give them power to drive the active circuit and the sensitivity and subtlety to capture every nuance in passive mode.
The TRBX504 features an audiophile grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and ultimate flexibility. The advanced design offers a level-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone. High-quality gold plated parts are used for key signal chain contacts, providing increased conductivity and reliability and a battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indication of low power to eliminate sudden power loss during performance.
