Yamaha TRBX304 bass guitar

The Yamaha TRBX304 is a precisely engineered electric bass guitar built to meet the high standards of professional players yet priced to appeal to younger and less experienced musicians. As is so often the case with this manufacturer, Yamaha’s research into every aspect of the instrument’s design has resulted in the perfect balance of performance quality and affordability.

Its body is made from lightweight mahogany that has been expertly shaped and balanced to provide the most comfortable bass playing experience possible. The deep-set bolt on neck is made from 5-ply mahogany and maple which makes for unbeatable stability, while its shallow contour and smooth rosewood fretboard makes fast fingering a doddle.

On top of these functional advantages, the bass looks beautiful too. Its body and headstock are finished in a choice of 5 finishes – black, candy apple red, mist green, pewter, or white – and are completed with sparkling die-cast black nickel hardware. The bridge and machineheads have been positioned to transfer optimum string vibration to the body and to accommodate a perfectly straight string from end to end. This makes the tuning more reliable and reduces unwanted overtones thereby facilitating exact sculpting of tone.

Two jumbo humbucking YGD M3 pickups with oversized polepieces and ceramic magnets ensure a clean and rounded tone. They each also feature integrated thumb rests for exceptional playability. Their sound is controlled using a 5-way slider, tuned to the perfect setup for slap, pick, finger, and solo playing. These tones, plus an unedited flat sound, can be further edited using any of the 4 knobs for bass, treble, balance, and volume.
