Yamaha TRBX 505 – 5-String Active/Passive Electric Bass
The Ultimate Workhorse The Yamaha TRBX 505 is built for the bassist who needs zero compromises between modern punch and vintage warmth. Combining a solid mahogany body with a transparent active/passive circuit, this 5-string powerhouse is designed for any musician.
Versatility Without Complexity
At the heart of the TRBX 505 is the YGD H5 Alnico V pickups. These hum-canceling pickups deliver a clean, open tone that captures the full frequency range of the 5-string spectrum.
Active Mode: Engage the audiophile-grade 3-band EQ for aggressive, modern tones with surgical precision.
Passive Mode: Flip the toggle for a classic, organic sound. The circuit is level-matched, so you won’t experience a volume drop when switching—perfect for mid-set adjustments.
Built for the Long Haul
Yamaha’s legendary build quality is on full display here. The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck provides incredible stability, ensuring the low B-string remains tight, clear, and resonant. The ultra-slim neck profile and refined body contouring make it one of the most ergonomic 5-strings in its class, reducing fatigue during long rehearsals.
The DGL Difference
When you buy from David’s Guitar Loft, you aren’t just getting a box from a warehouse. Every Yamaha TRBX 505 that leaves our shop has been:
Technician Inspected: Our team checks every fret, nut slot, and electronic component.
