- Here we have my Yamaha TRBX 504 fitted with D'Addario ECB81 Flatwounds. It has a matt translucent black finish which means that the wood shows through if you catch it in the right light. Gig bag included.
- Body: TRBX features a sculpted solid mahogany body, with a mass-optimized 3D design for the optimum balance between tone and comfort coupled with perfect weight distribution.
- Neck: TRBX’s neck design combines a fast, ultra-comfortable profile with 5-pc maple/mahogany laminated construction for outstanding stability and excellent tone.
- Pickups: YGD designed H5 pickups are defined by a clean, open tone that’s perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. Their quad-polepiece design and alnico magnets give them the power to drive the active circuit and the sensitivity and subtlety to capture every nuance in passive mode.
- Electronics: Active/Passive selecter, (Battery Alert)New Duracell included.
- TRBX500 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. The advanced design offers a level-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone. High-quality gold plated parts are used for key signal chain contacts, providing increased conductivity and reliability and a battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indication of low power to eliminate sudden power loss during performance.
- Neck Joint: TRBX uses a precision fitted bolt-on neck joint for maximum adjustability and clear, punchy tone. Developed through hundreds of hours of play-testing, the refined neck joint shape perfectly balances strength, vibration transfer and upper-fret access.
- Bridge: A high-mass die-cast bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body for full, rich tone combined with excellent adjustability and road-tested durability. 19mm string spacing on the 4-string model offers outstanding playability for technical slap or finger styles.
- Headstock: Straight string pull from nut to machine head eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones.
- Nut: 38mm (4-string) nut widths give fast, comfortable playability for any style.
- Output Jack: Yamaha’s metal plate-mounted standard jack socket offers superior durability and easy maintenance.
