I love my Yamaha basses. My RBX375 is my go to main bass. I have one of these TRBX305s as well and it's not quite as mean as my RBX. The only difference between the 2 is the body woods and the bridge. The RBX has more mass to its bridge and figured that was the was what was lacking on the TRBX. I will try the magnets trick to see what that does. Overall the bass is great. Very versatile and well worth the price. If you've never considered Yamaha basses before you're really missing out. I bet you'd really like the BB series and the signature series basses. The Nathan East signature is out of this world. If you can't afford the newest East signature just look for a used one from the original released series. The thumb rest built into the pups is excellent too. I wish other pups did that. As for the 5 way selector switch I predominately use the solo setting and occasionally switch to the flat. Granted I almost never thump and am a Heavy Metal bassist.

Im very surprised a bassist with as many guitars as yourself hasnt dealt with or knew of Yamaha Electric Bass Guitars. World famous and renown bassist such as Nathan East, Peter Hook, Billy Sheehan, John Patitucci have signature lines with them. if you were to google them im sure they are in the top 5 of electric bass manufacturers. i just began trying to play myself and through research found them to the best bang for the buck. i now own the TRBX174EW Mango, the TRB305 in white, and the TRBX605FM in Satin Natural. you were the first person when i decided i wanted to try bass, that i pulled up on youTube and i enjoy your content. i really need to get with you for a personal Q&A for tutoring.

I just started doing guitar videos and for the first time EVER just used an old bass I had laying around to track a quick riff I wrote to be my new intro music. Bass is all about groove and I had way more fun with it. Looking to buy a 5 string because I track a lot with my 7 string guitar. This is one of the basses I’m looking at in my price range. Great playing and I look forward to learning from you as I delve deeper into bass!

Most reviews I see of the TRBX active basses opt for very mellow, often muddy, often completely undefined tones that sound utterly indistinct and nearly inhuman. I guess that's what's in these days? Thank you for showing that the trbx can do high attack and high definition tones too.

Pretty cool demo. I use to own this bass. it's a pretty unique bass. the 5-way tone switch was an interesting feature. it gives the bass a variety of tones. right now I plan on purchasing a yamaha trbx505 sometime soon. it's my most wanted bass guitar. yamaha makes really good bass guitars.

I've been waiting for you to try one of these out! FYI, that 5 string goes for $400 new. How would you compare it to the Sire M2 (tone, feel, quality) ? Those are my top two choices for whenever I go for a mid budget bass. I know the Sire Pre-amp is hard to beat, which is why I would go with that first.

Great demo. Is there a DSP in the selector? Yamaha make some decent DSPs - even on their cheap keyboards the DSP with headphones sounds epic. I think my Harley Benton b450FL is somehow modelled on Yamaha. Pickups look identical - doubt they are same but look that part. I too am looking at the Sire M2 maple fingerboard.

To me, Yamaha make number 3, of basses in that price range, ibanez 300e - 2, and number 1 is the Marcus miller! Having said that, I'm still going ibanez. I want light weight, and class playability, plus I like the slim body. But the M2 does beat it with that frequency selection option. But that's just me. The Yamaha good though! 😎👏

That might be a 30" scale bass. The rear pup sounds good. The neck pup is too much and should be a single row pup which leaves room for slapping.

Sounds like the switch is a parametric mid eq? Like slap lowers the mids and emphasizes bass and treble while solo emphasizes mids and lowers bass and treble…?
@robertlucas9867
9 ай бұрын
I have this. The switch is a EQ switch. Middle is flat. I know there is slap, pick, solo, flat, and I forget the fifth. I usually play flat or solo. There is arguments about whether it’s a gimmick for beginners or legit for beginners and mid level players. 🤷♂️IDK what to think. It is useful but I see the other arguments also. I would prefer a tone knob and a middle EQ since it has bass and treble boost active EQ.
