Questions & Answers

There are mixed answers as to whether the pickups are active or passive. Can anyone confirm which is the case. Furthermore, I see a switch that enables you to change the state from active to standby?

6 models of Yamaha bass guitars are listed in this listing. In the 100 and 200 series, the pickups are passive, while in the 300 series, there is an active pickup with a 5-way switch The instant EQ switch is a two-way Select the 500 series by means of the toggle switch between active and passive.

Can this be used in what type of case?

The majority of cases are designed for long-term storage I would think a scale bass would fit. The body measures 13 inches wide by 20 inches long up to the top of the horn, with a total length of 43 inches. The distance from the top of the headstock to the bottom strap button is 5 inches. I wish you the best of luck!

With this bass, what are the gauge of the strings?

According to us, they are between the ages of 45 and 50. It is a pleasure to work with

Is there a website where I can purchase upgrade parts for the yamaha trbx605 5-inch Does string mean?

Honestly, I don't know the answer to that When it comes to bridge, I like Graph tech, while for assorted parts, I like As for pickups, I'm a picky person, Duncan is solid, pots - not so much Tone is good as long as you are doing what you are supposed to do

We were glad we waited for it
5/5

Despite my inexperience with bass, I keep reading articles about this bass. I have 4 basses now (Fender, Ibanez, Schecter). The book has been on my list for a while now and just arrived a few In the black gloss, which has a maple look underneath, I bought Maple - In my opinion, this is a beautiful thing. There is a bit more bass than my other amps and there is some neck drop, but the controls are spot on sensitive and can be adjusted to create the sound/tone I want. I will switch out the round wound strings for tape wound ones since my piece arrived with round wound strings. Despite that, there is no friction As the round wounds add a throaty quality to the bass, the tone is throaty. My skepticism on the active/passive switch still has me scratching my head, but I are liking the passive sound more at this early stage because the tone is not as aggressive. Just by adjusting the action just a tiny bit closer to the fretboard, the sound was clear and crisp. As long as the pickups are sufficiently far apart, you can adjust the controls easily between them On either side of the neck, toward the action end or in the center. I found them to be remarkably sensitive, more so than any of my other From bass, through middle, and up to treble, the controls can be set in the middle/neutral or to cut or boost each one. Additionally, there is a pickup balance control, so there is no need to replace the pickup. It has a lot of range in the master volume control, so I had to spend quite a bit of time on my amp (Behringer BXL 3000) to reduce an echo effect. The bass is majestic and complex. This guitar's back is a light maple, as is the body which I chose to go gloss black, and it's stunning with its tiger maple stripes (so faint they are not as evident as most). Basses of this quality are hard to come by, and I highly recommend this one. I tried comparable basses at local guitar stores, and they cost many hundred more than this one, and they didn't have the look or sound this one has. This is a good product.

There's a question mark over the quality control of Yamaha's made in Indonesia bass guitars
3/5

Yamaha bass guitars made in Indonesia may have a quality control problem, which is disappointing for someone who really wanted to like the instrument. My Yamaha TBRX504 was unable to pick up a local radio station and play it through my amp when its active circuit was switched on. When the radio is in passive mode, the signal is cut off. The passive mode of this guitar allows you to play it without a battery. The E string suddenly became significantly louder than the other strings after a couple of weeks of playing. This was measured with the Sound Meter App for Android, which is an excellent app for measuring loudness. It is not possible to adjust the pickup poles. Although I raised the E string height, the difference was not as great as I expected. Although the string can be raised as high as possible, it may become difficult to play if it is raised too high. When I changed the strings, there was a 10-dB increase in volume at first, but about a month later the issue recurred about I got it back 14 days later. In general, the guitar string being E becomes looser and vibrates more when it breaks in, resulting in a noise that is about 10 db louder than the other three In fact, the manufacturer will not be able to detect the problem right away because the E string will have to break in before its uneven loudness appears. Considering the loud E string problem I encountered, as well as the fact that there is a radio active circuit that can't function in an environment with strong short-range radio signals, I opted for a given exchange with Amazon. It was a pleasant surprise to find that the TRBX504 I ordered did not pick up a local radio station on its active circuit. By contrast, this active circuit had a dramatically lower gain than the Although I found the volume of the E string to be equal to those of the other three strings, I knew that the string would need to be broken in before a definitive conclusion could be drawn. This is the order in which I adjusted the intonation of G, D, and A strings. As I was trying to intonate the E string, I noticed the 12th fret was 10 cents flat. In addition, I was unable to move the saddle closer to the nut, as it was running My understanding is that the E string was 20 cents flat at the 12th fret because the saddle adjustment had not been started yet. It is possible the factory misinstalled the bridge, but without seeing the guitar in person, a definitive diagnosis can't be made. A local specialty guitar repair shop suggested the bridge may have been screwed on incorrectly during manufacturing. Moreover, I noticed that the E string was beginning to sound louder than the other 3 strings, perhaps by 3 db or more. In the end, I refused to stay and wait any longer for the string to completely break in, so I returned this TRBX504 exchange It is my pleasure to work with There is little doubt that Yamaha makes excellent pianos and its made in Japan guitars are very likely to show the same level of excellence, but Yamaha's bass guitars made in Indonesia are extremely questionable.

It's a bass guitar like no other
5/5

Really, for the price I paid, this bass is a great buy! Despite its stylish and comfortable appearance, it feels extremely durable. As well as being great, it sounds even better. When I initially noticed there was no pickup switch, it occurred to me that it was the control knobs that adjusted This is without a doubt one of the greatest bass lines I've heard. It was important for me to have a bass, even though I play guitar. This bass guitar is exactly what I was looking for and I would.

This bass guitar is a great value for the money! There is nothing better than a low-cost The price of the bass guitar is high
4/5

As the action was a bit high, it did require some setting up. In spite of this, the instrument is of great quality, and its active controls allow for a great deal The person who is an expert player will want more than this model however, for beginning to intermediate players-the following model may be sufficient It will be with you for a long time. As with my first Yamaha guitar, it has excellent tone, playability, and value for its price. It has never disappointed me, I looked at a lot of cheap guitars before buying.
