The Yamaha TRBX505 is a modern 5-string workhorse built for bassists who need uncompromising tone, comfortable playability, and total flexibility across genres. Its sculpted mahogany body delivers a deep, resonant foundation, while the 5-piece maple/mahogany neck provides strength, stability, and smooth playability. This bass is perfect for the stage, the studio, or anywhere your playing takes you — offering a balanced, punchy tone that can be shaped to fit any musical context.

Loaded with Yamaha’s custom-designed H5 alnico humbucking pickups, the TRBX505 produces a full, articulate voice with excellent clarity and zero hum. Each pickup uses four pole pieces per string to capture a wider frequency response, ensuring your tone stays rich and dynamic across the entire fingerboard. Whether you're laying down a groove in active mode or switching to passive for more vintage warmth, the TRBX505 gives you total control with its 3-band EQ, balance knob, and quick-access active/passive mini-switch.

With its striking Translucent Brown finish and sleek, ergonomic design, the TRBX505 doesn’t just sound great — it feels like an extension of your body. Deep cutaways provide easy upper fret access, while the precision neck joint and straight headstock string pull maximize resonance and tuning stability. It’s the ideal bass for players who demand performance, versatility, and modern style — all in one professional-grade instrument. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
