Yamaha TRBX305 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - TRBX305BL

The Yamaha TRBX305 5-string electric bass guitar commands respect for its tone, versatility, and features. It boasts Yamaha’s exclusive Performance EQ active circuit, which has five performance-tuned EQ curves designed to give instant access to essential sounds.

Additionally, the 2-band master EQ shapes and defines your tone. You can slap, pop, pick, or almost anything to get your desired tone.

The TRBX305 Yamaha bass features a sculpted 3D solid mahogany body, designed for optimum balance between tone and comfort and excellent weight distribution. The neck design combines a fast, comfortable profile with a 5-piece maple/mahogany laminated construction for outstanding stability and tone.

Yamaha built and designed the M3 pickups for the TRBX305 5-string. They feature oversized polepieces and ceramic magnets for a clear, powerful tone with incredible definition and depth. The hum-canceling design ensures a clean and noise-free performance while the integral thumb rest provides superior playability.

A precision-fitted bolt-on neck joint on this Yamaha 5-string bass delivers maximum adjustability and a clear, punchy tone. Developed through hundreds of hours of play-testing, this refined neck joint shape balances strength, vibration transfer, and upper-fret access. Three important points that help make you a better player. 

A high-mass die-cast bridge provides an efficient transfer of string vibrations to the body for a full, rich tone. Straight string pull from the nut to the machine head eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones, and 18mm string spacing provides outstanding playability for slap and fingerstyle players.

• Tune Regularly: Keep your bass tuned to avoid unnecessary tension on the neck and strings.
• Storage: Use a case or stand to store the bass when not in use to prevent damage from impacts or temperature changes.
