About the Yamaha TRBX605FM

The TRBX605FM sits at the top of Yamaha's TRBX line, the brand's more contemporary and affordably-built counterpart to the longer-running BB series. Where the entry TRBX (e.g. TRBX174) models keep things simple with basic passive electronics and plain finishes, the 600-tier TRBX605FM adds a flamed maple top veneer, an alder body, and active electronics for more tonal range. The '5' in the model number marks it as the five-string sibling of the four-string TRBX604FM, adding a low B string on a correspondingly wider neck rather than any other design change.

As the five-string flagship within the affordable TRBX range, it targets players who want extended low-end range without moving to Yamaha's pricier Japanese-made bass lines.

Sound character of the Yamaha TRBX605FM

The TRBX605FM uses humbucking pickups and an active 3-band EQ on a mahogany body - mahogany tends to emphasize low-mid warmth and sustain compared to lighter alder/ash basses, while the active electronics let that foundation be shaped toward a scooped, hi-fi modern tone or pushed back toward a thicker, humbucker-driven growl.
