Electric Bass Guitar · Japan / Indonesia · Introduced 2013
The Yamaha TRBX504 is a remarkably versatile, high-value active/passive electric bass designed for contemporary players who demand ergonomic comfort, pristine electronic flexibility, and reliable studio-grade performance. Built around a deeply sculpted solid mahogany body, it offers a warm, resonant foundation with exceptional weight distribution that reduces physical fatigue during extended gigging sessions. Its standout feature is the advanced active/passive preamp system, equipped with a 3-band master equalizer, a battery alert LED indicator, and a passive-active switch that ensures uninterrupted performance even if the 9-volt battery happens to fail mid-set. Dual humbucking pickups feature massive pole pieces that capture every nuance of fingerstyle articulation, slap dynamics, and pick attacks with crystalline clarity. The fast 5-piece maple and mahogany laminated neck provides incredible physical stability against warping, while the 24-fret rosewood fingerboard opens up expansive melodic territory for progressive bassists. It is the ultimate Swiss-army-knife instrument for multi-genre session players and intermediate bassists looking for professional sonic capabilities without breaking the bank.
