Overview

Great playability and active electronics for total tone-shaping.

This series is all about the balance of elements, and with the punchy tone of a 3D-scuplted, alder/maple-laminated body, timeless looks and the power of the Yamaha 3-band active/passive preamp. The 5-string version of the TRBX600 series provides the same power, tone and beauty as the four-string version, but delivers the low that will define your sound.

Neck

The TRBX neck design combines an ultra-comfortable profile with 5-piece maple/mahogany-laminated construction for outstanding stability and excellent tone.

Neck Joint

Developed through hundreds of hours of testing, the refined neck joint shape perfectly balances strength, vibration transfer and upper-fret access.

Headstock

Straight string pull from nut to machine head eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones.

Nut

43 mm (5-string) nut widths give fast, comfortable playability for any style.

Bridge


A high-mass, die-cast bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body for a full, rich tone combined with excellent adjustability and road-tested durability. The 18 mm spacing on the 5-string model offers outstanding playability for technical slap or finger styles.

Output Jack

The Yamaha metal, plate-mounted standard jack socket offers superior durability and easy maintenance.

Pickups


YGD H5 pickups are defined by a clean, open tone that’s perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. Their quad-pole piece design and alnico magnets give them the power to drive the active circuit and the sensitivity and subtlety to capture every nuance in passive mode.

Electronics (Active/Passive Selector and Battery Alert)

TRBX600 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine, tonal control and extreme flexibility. This advanced design offers a level-matched output, whether in passive or active mode, and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone. High-quality, gold-plated parts are used for key signal chain contacts, providing increased conductivity and reliability, and the LED low-battery alert installed on the back panel helps to prevent sudden power loss during performances.
