An Extremely Versatile 5-string Bass!

The Yamaha TRBX305 5-string bass guitar brings versatility, killer looks, and amazing performance together in a complete package. This sleek-looking, great-sounding bass gives you a comfortable Yamaha body shape and a fast-action bolt-on 5-piece maple/mahogany neck with a smooth-playing rosewood fingerboard. A pair of humbucking pickups deliver hum-free sound and the Performance EQ active circuit instantly optimizes your bass or different playing styles. Factor in the Yamaha TRBX305's solid hardware and thoughtful design, and you've got a great-looking bass that's ready to conquer any stage.

Comfortable body with progressive styling

One look at the Yamaha TRBX305 5-string electric bass, and you know it means business. A deep cutaway gives you clean access to the higher registers for soloing, while the pronounced upper bout provides balance (and looks cool). The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck has a comfortable and fast-playing profile. The TRBX305 sports a precision fitted neck joint that gives you clear, punchy tone. And the straight string pull of the headstock offers improved tuning stability and reduces overtones. You're going to love the way the TRBX305 looks, plays, and feels!

Humbucking pickups deliver massive bass tone

Yamaha loaded the TRBX305 5-string bass with a pair of custom-designed M3 humbucking pickups. These bad boys sport ceramic magnets and oversized polepieces for big tone with great depth and definition without any hum. The M3 pickups even have a built-in thumbrest for your playing comfort. On top of amazing pickup tone and performance, the TRBX305 has any extremely versatile set of active electronics so you can be ready for any gig. An active 2-band EQ lets you dial in your ideal sound fast and easy. The Performance EQ 5-way switch is loaded with optimized EQ settings for playing styles ranging from slap, pick, fingerstyle, and solo bass playing. No matter what kind of sound you need, the Yamaha TRBX305 bass can get you there in seconds!

Super value

I own red version of this one. I have played guitar for around 30 years but I recently started playing bass until now, laying tracks on my own demos. I got a very basic cheap bass but quickly realized I needed to invest into a better instrument.

Enter the Yamaha 305. I find the 5way selector is priceless for me, it fix the guess work out of finding good tones for different applications. Then you can tweak it as needed with the onboard active controls. The battery is accessible via a latch door, where other models from other brands that I looked into have you use a screwdriver to access the battery. The workmanship including the fretwork I could find no fault on great solid job Yamaha.

In terms of just pure value this is hard to beat. The only thing I can think of to add is a switch to play in passive mode just in case you your battery decides to act up in the middle of a gig. I know that it's a feature of its bigger brother but if I have to switch between the five way selector and that the five way selector wins for me especially since I do not play bass live just in a recording environment.

Awesome

High quality and love the easy playability!
Rated 5/5

So impressed with Yamaha quality - on par with the best of the best

You really get more with a Yamaha product. This bass is solid - it is tight, I can tell that the construction is first-rate, and I already know it's going to last. I bet the techs who run the 55-point inspections love Yamahas - they seem so easy to set up and keep in tune.

This is my second Yamaha TRBX. I got the Candy Apple Red 304 a few months ago and was so impressed I bought this one as soon as it came back in stock. And Geoff is the consummate professional - he is always looking after my wants and needs, and I never feel like I'm being sold to.

I wish all companies operated like Sweetwater, the world would be a better place! :-]

Really Nice

Really nice Bass. The best you can get at this price point. As always, Yamaha delivers on quality and sound. I have only been playing for a month and don't consider myself a bass player, but if you have the best tools to start, you will build a better bassist.
Rated 5/5
