A TRBX500 Designed for Modern Versatility
The TRBX series is aimed at bassists who want an instrument capable of performing in various contexts, with contemporary ergonomics and a wide range of settings. Within the lineup, the TRBX504 stands out for its "pro"-oriented features (pickups, hardware) and especially for its preamp with active/passive mode, convenient for quickly adapting to an amplifier, mixing console, or pedalboard.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
The TRBX504 targets the intermediate to advanced bassist seeking a reliable, comfortable bass that is easy to fit into a band. It suits current styles very well (pop, rock, modern metal, funk, soul, worship), thanks to the balance between a naturally thick sound (mahogany + humbuckers) and an equalizer capable of refining attack, lows, and presence depending on the track.
The Sound
With its two Yamaha humbuckers, the TRBX504 offers a wide range: in the neck position, the lows are dense and enveloping; in the bridge position, the attack becomes more defined to cut through the mix. The 3-band EQ in active mode allows precise sculpting of the spectrum (bass, mid, treble) to go from a round, deep sound to a more snapping slap or a sharper rock tone. The passive mode provides a more direct and natural response, appreciated when you want a "plug and play" feel while retaining the warm character of mahogany and stable sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
With its 34" / 864 mm scale length, the TRBX504 accepts long scale electric bass string sets (4 strings). A strap and a tuner ideally complete the gear for rehearsals and stage use.

Order via internet, without having tried it. I live far from Europe, and music stores didn't have that bass. I was looking for a bass for slap. I have a fretless, so it's hard to slap per, even if that's possible! In short, I read various articles on the net and decided on the TRBX 504. The result, not bad at all, but... The finish seems good to me, but there is something that doesn't do it, what, I don't know, but something is missing. Overall, I am happy visually, even if... On the other hand, in terms of sound, super versatile. For the slap, we can't say that it's soft, certainly not. For finger playing, coming from a fretless, there is no photo, it lacks sensuality, but that's the case with all fretted ones. I must admit that the frets annoy me and hurt my fingers. Everything smooth is really something else. In short, great for the slap, disappointed for the rest. Now it's Yamaha, and it's still very, very correct. Only the finish seems great to me, but not super super top, too bad.
