Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

The Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-String Electric Bass Guitar is your new secret weapon, blending precision engineering with timeless craftsmanship and a look that’ll stop traffic.

This flawlessly balanced instrument features a striking flame maple top and a 3D-sculpted alder body, purpose-built for serious players who demand stellar tone, effortless comfort, and road-ready durability. It dishes out the deep lows that define your sound.

Sculpted for Comfort, Built for Speed

Playing a five-string bass can sometimes feel like gripping a baseball bat. Yamaha changes the game with an ergonomic design that hugs your body and a neck that practically plays itself. You get a fatigue-free playing experience that keeps your hands happy through the final encore.

Ergonomic Alder Body: Forget clunky, uncomfortable basses. This is a beautifully sculpted alder body, meticulously contoured to hug your body.
Stunning Flame Maple Top: Let's be honest: looks count. This bass is a visual stunner, with a premium flame maple top that dances under the stage lights. It’s proof that a workhorse can still be a head-turner.
Built-for-Speed 5-Piece Neck: Ready to fly across the fretboard? This slim maple and mahogany neck is your runway. It gives your fingers room to move, with a comfortable 43mm nut width and 24 medium frets on a silky rosewood fingerboard.

Tonal Flexibility on Tap

A great bass should adapt to the gig, not the other way around. The TRBX605FM delivers, loaded with a highly tweakable preamp system and custom-designed pickups that let you dial in anything from a classic, vintage thump to a modern, aggressive growl.

Custom Alnico V Pickups: These twin double-coil humbuckers provide a punchy, articulate response that captures every nuance of your playing. Your low B string will remain tight, defined, and free of any muddiness.
3-Band Active EQ: Sculpt your sound with precision. The intuitive bass, mid, and treble controls allow you to boost the boom, scoop the mids, or add a glassy sheen to your slap tone in an instant.
Active/Passive Switch: Seamlessly switch between the hi-fi punch of the active preamp and the warm, dynamic character of the passive circuit. In passive mode, the treble knob transforms into a master tone control for classic high-end roll-off.

Gig-Ready Reliability

Yamaha designed this bass for the gigging musician, incorporating brilliant details that become lifesavers under pressure. It's a reliable workhorse, ready to anchor your rhythm section night after night.

Battery Alert LED: No more mid-song power failures. A discreet LED on the back warns you when your 9-volt is running low, giving you ample time to swap it out before the next set.
Fail-Safe Passive Mode: Even if the battery does die, just flick the switch to passive mode and continue the groove without missing a beat.
High-Mass Die-Cast Bridge: This rugged bridge efficiently transfers string vibration to the body for rich, ringing sustain, while the 18mm string spacing leaves plenty of room for both fingerstyle funk and aggressive picking.

The Ultimate Sonic Foundation

The Yamaha TRBX605FM isn't just another five-string bass; it's a versatile tool designed to make your life easier and your grooves deeper. It captures the soul of traditional luthiery while offering the modern features and flexibility today's gigging musicians demand. Strap it on, plug it in, and feel the power.
