Yamaha TRBX 505 TWH

Así de primeras es un bajo que entra por los ojos. Tiene un cuerpo muy bonito, característico de Yamaha al cual el color blanco le da mucha vida.
Muy buenos acabados, un mástil que desliza súper bien y muy cómodo.
Los primeros días se hace un poco pesado pero con el tiempo tu espalda se acostumbra (además que hay pocos bajos que pesen poco)
Tiene muy buen sustain y un sonido muy versátil. El ecualizador a tres bandas y el switch activa/pasiva te permite jugar con el sonido y adaptarlo perfectamente al sonido que quieres que saque tu instumento. Tanto la pastilla activa como la pasiva son súper cañeras y tienen muy buena pegada y si sabes jugar con el eq, podrás sacar un sonido súper agresivo.
La única pega que le pongo es que el "hueso" es de puro plástico, cosa que si se cambiara por uno en condiciones, se conseguiría mejor sonido pero claro, por el precio que tiene no se puede pedir más.
Totalmente recomendado, aunque sé que si estás pensando comprártelo vas a dudar mucho qué color elegir.

I've wanted this bass for around 4 years and i finally got it. i've been playing it for around 10 - months now. it plays beautifully out of the box, but i put some extra thick gauge strings on there out of preference. sounds awesome and there are few sounds you can't get out of it. sounds amazing both in active and passive modes, the frets are comfortable and the electronics feel robust and good quality.

The ONLY criticism i have is that the treble preamp is a little noisy. there's a noticeable hiss the more you turn it up (otherwise it is very low noise), but that has also been the case with other active circuits basses i've played. i'm going to look into solving that if possible.

Comfortable to play, good quality parts (especially for the price) incredible sound, maximum versatility, and it even looks gorgeous.

Second best bass i've ever played (the first was a 70's era P-Bass, cracked lacquer and everything, and that's worth over 4 times the price. i wouldn't expect this to beat that - thought it still came close)

I have this since a couple years now. The bass is built perfectly, light and well balanced, it is all-round really comfortable. Hardware is perfect, and it's very easy to get to very low action, also frets are perfect.
String spacing at the bridge is 18mm.
What can really be improved is pickups and onboard eq, but for the first time, Yamaha finally used standard pickups routing (Bartolini P2 housing) so you can go for anything you like. I mounted Nordstrand Big Splits/John East Eq and now I have a really high-end instrument.
I highly reccomend this bass, great for beginners and also for pros on the budget

I've had this bass for over a year now and I'm still very happy with the purchase. I'm a guitarist, composing and recording metal music at home and wanted to go over from programming bass to actually playing it. My first impression of playing the yamaha was just how easy to play it is and as a new bassist I got to say I love the feeling of feeling the vibration of the low B-string in the chest when playing. And the sound is amazing! Love the option to go active or passive in the pickups which gives me flexibility on clean vs distorted parts. I am playing mostly in B which is great for this, but since standard B-tuning is a superset of standard E-tuning I can use the same bass for just "normal" songs and I think it sounds great there as well. The looks is also right up my alley. The matt white with the dark chrome knobs - just chefs kiss! My only complaint is that there is a small gap around the neck joint and I received the bass with a very tiny ding on the headstock. Nothing you really can see unless you're less than a meter away from the bass. It's a bit nose divy when playing siting down without a strap, but maybe all bases are that with the long neck?
