Yamaha TRBX305 PWT 5-String Electric Bass Guitar
Expert Review
At its foundation, Yamaha’s TRBX305 is a 5-string bass guitar manufactured to sound great. A solid mahogany body gives this axe a deeply warm tone that is enhanced by its high-mass die-cast bridge, which accurately transmits the vibration of the guitar’s strings to the body. Its laminated fast neck which is constructed from maple and mahogany, contributes to the warmth of the 305’s tone.
Two soap bar-style humbucker pickups can be accessed and alternated via a switch and 2-band EQ, meaning you’ll be able to tweak your tone till you’re satisfied. But just in case you need some suggestions or reference points to start with, a performance EQ allows you to easily switch between pre-sets optimized for playing styles such as slapping, finger-picking, playing with a pick, and more. Use the 5-way switch to instantly demo sounds and find the setting that works best for your mood or the style of music you find yourself playing.
