Five-string electric bass with Yamaha H5 pickups and active 3-band EQ
The Yamaha TRBX 505 Brick Burst is the flagship of Yamaha's TRBX series, offering a huge variety of sounds and excellent playability. Two Yamaha humbuckers with Alnico magnets and the active 3-band EQ provide a wide range of different tones, making it possible to use the electric bass in any musical context, while the combination of a strongly contoured mahogany body and a flat maple-mahogany neck ensures superb comfort.
The Yamaha TRBX 505 Brick Burst is extremely comfortable to play and offers a wide range of tones.
Excellent playability and classic construction
For the construction of the Yamaha TRBX 505 Brick Burst, Yamaha follows classical guidelines and manufactures the body from mahogany, while the bolt-on neck is made of maple and mahogany in five stripes. This combination of woods ensures a well-balanced base sound with fast attack, also accurately reproducing the low B-string. Due to its special contouring, the body is well balanced, guaranteeing an ergonomic playing position both when sitting down with instrument and standing without being top-heavy. In addition, the flat neck lies comfortably in the player's hand, letting every bass line come off their fingers effortlessly. Offset dot inlays mark the positions of the 24 medium frets on the rosewood fretboard to help maintain orientation.
Alnico humbuckers and active EQ
The Yamaha TRBX 505 uses two passive Yamaha H5 humbuckers equipped with Alnico V magnets that, due to their special design with four pole pieces per string, deliver a high output and transmit every note with great detail and a distinctive attack, but never too harsh. The low B string is integrated into the sound with precise tone development and crisp response. The bridge pickup also convinces with high assertiveness in the low mid-range, while the neck pickup provides full clean sounds. In addition, this five-string offers an active 3-band EQ that allows for precise adjustment of the bass sound across all frequency ranges. The mini switch can be used to switch off the equalizer and play the electric bass passively, with the treble control acting as a classic tone control. Another handy feature is the battery status indicator in the electric compartment lid.

It's my first bass guitar so I may be a little biased but all I gotta say is that at this price mark you are getting a professional guitar. For me it ticks all the boxes: great price, killer looks, playability, craftsmanship (especially neck and frets), versatility (both active and passive pickup configuration), sexy sleek design. I mean there is really nothing bad to say about this guitar even if I wanted to be picky. So overall, my best buy for a long time. Thank you everybody at Yamaha for creating this baby and DV247 to ship it so fast. It reached me in 5 days and was £80 cheaper than UK online retailers. Cheers!
