Yamaha TRBX505 TBL 5-String Electric Bass Guitar Translucent Black
The Yamaha TRBX505 TBL 5-String Electric Bass Guitar in Translucent Black offers premium features and exceptional tonal flexibility for serious bassists. Crafted with a solid mahogany body, it delivers rich, resonant tones with excellent sustain. The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck provides superior stability and a comfortable playing experience, with a slim 43mm nut width for effortless navigation across all five strings. Equipped with quad pole-piece Alnico pickups, this bass delivers powerful, articulate tones in both active and passive modes, thanks to the versatile 3-band active EQ and active/passive preamp switch. High-quality gold-plated components enhance conductivity and reliability, while the high-mass die-cast bridge ensures optimal string vibration transfer. Additional features include a battery alert LED for convenience and a metal plate-mounted output jack for durability. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the TRBX505 TBL is the perfect blend of power, precision, and flexibility for modern bassists.
