The TRBX174DBM: the Accessible Entry in the TRBX Series
The latest addition to the TRBX series, the TRBX174DBM embodies Yamaha's spirit: a reliable, well-designed electric bass focused on comfort. It is positioned as an entry-level model, perfect for discovering the instrument without compromising on ergonomics, balance, and playability.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
This bass is primarily aimed at beginners, but it also works very well as a rehearsal instrument for intermediate players. Thanks to its dual pickup configuration, it easily adapts to styles such as rock, pop, funk, blues, metal (with appropriate settings), and any context where a bass capable of delivering both round lines and more precise attacks is needed.
Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance between bass, present mids, and clear highs, with a consistent response that blends well in a band setting. The maple neck adds definition and attack, while the sonokeling fingerboard offers a smoother feel under the fingers and a slightly warmer midrange tone. On the electronics side, the combination of a Split SC pickup and a SC pickup allows switching between a solid, percussive low end (perfect for laying down the groove) and a more precise, articulate sound, useful for pick playing, funky lines, or more detailed passages.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To complete your setup, you can choose long scale bass strings (34" scale length), a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, a strap for comfortable standing play, and a tuner (clip-on or pedal) to ensure accurate tuning daily.
