You need an instrument with the strength and power to perform, an instrument that gives you the freedom to innovate and to create without limits. You need a bass where everything‘s just right – sound, looks, feel – nothing comes second.

With a unique combination of advanced design, precision engineering and time-honored craftsmanship, the Yamaha Guitar Development team has created the perfect instrument for bass players who aren’t willing to compromise – an instrument with the tone you need to underpin your performance and the flexibility to allow you to create and define your own voice. Offering unparalleled comfort, incredible playability and road-ready durability, night after night, session after session, this series was designed to be the core of your music.This is TRBX. This is the bass you’ve been waiting for.

TRBX600 features controls for master volume, balance and 3-band EQ with active/passive switch for maximum flexibility. YGD designed H5 pickups are defined by a clean, open tone that’s perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. Their quad-polepiece design and alnico magnets give them the power to drive the active circuit and the sensitivity and subtlety to capture every nuance in passive mode.

TRBX600 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme 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.

TRBX features a sculpted alder/maple laminated body, with a mass-optimized 3D design for the optimum balance between tone and comfort coupled with perfect weight distribution. TRBX’s neck design combines a fast, ultra-comfortable profile with 5-pc maple/mahogany laminated construction for outstanding 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 shape perfectly balances 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. Yamaha’s metal plate-mounted standard jack socket offers superior durability and easy maintenance.

The 5-string version of theTRBX600 series provides the same power, tone and beauty as four-string version, but delivers the low that will define your sound.
