Yamaha TRBX505 TBR 5-String Electric Bass Guitar Translucent Brown
The Yamaha TRBX505 TBR 5-String Electric Bass Guitar in Translucent Brown delivers premium tone, versatility, and reliability for discerning bassists. Built with a solid mahogany body, it produces a rich, resonant sound with excellent sustain and warmth. The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck offers exceptional stability and a slim 43mm nut width for smooth, comfortable playability across all five strings. Equipped with quad pole-piece Alnico pickups, this bass delivers powerful, articulate tones with the flexibility of an active/passive preamp system and a 3-band EQ, allowing you to fine-tune your sound with precision. Gold-plated components enhance conductivity and signal clarity, while the high-mass die-cast bridge provides superior sustain and tuning stability. Additional features include a battery alert LED and a durable metal plate-mounted jack. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the TRBX505 TBR is an ideal choice for bassists seeking style, flexibility, and professional-grade performance.
