Product Overview
The TRBX604FM features a solid alder body topped with premium flamed maple in a stunning Indigo Blue finish that showcases the wood's natural figuring. This classic tonewood combination provides excellent tonal balance—the alder delivers punchy midrange and tight lows, while the maple cap adds definition and bite. The distinctive double-cutaway design offers unrestricted access to all 24 frets and provides excellent balance whether playing standing or seated.
The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck construction offers superior stability against environmental changes while resisting warping and twisting that can plague lesser instruments. This bolt-on neck features a comfortable profile that supports fast playing techniques while reducing hand fatigue during extended performances. The smooth rosewood fingerboard provides warm tonal characteristics and responsive feel across all 24 frets.
Powered by Yamaha's YGD H5 Alnico V double-coil pickups and an active 3-band EQ preamp, the TRBX604FM delivers exceptionally versatile tonal options. The onboard electronics provide studio-grade sound shaping capabilities, allowing you to dial in everything from vintage warmth to modern punch with precision. The active/passive switch gives you the option to bypass the preamp for traditional passive tones or engage it for enhanced sound-sculpting capabilities.

Key Features
Premium Tonewood Combination
The solid alder body with flamed maple top delivers the perfect balance of punch and clarity. This classic tonewood pairing provides tight, focused low end with excellent midrange definition and subtle high-end shimmer. The stunning flame maple top not only enhances the bass's visual appeal but contributes to its tonal character with added brightness and articulation.
5-Piece Maple/Mahogany Neck
The multi-laminate neck construction combines strength and stability with exceptional tonal properties. Alternating layers of maple and mahogany create a neck that resists warping and twisting while maintaining consistent performance in varying environmental conditions. This construction method ensures tuning stability and reliable playability throughout years of professional use.
Professional-Grade Electronics
Yamaha's YGD H5 Alnico V double-coil pickups capture every nuance of your playing with exceptional clarity and warmth. The active 3-band EQ preamp provides precise control over bass, mid, and treble frequencies, allowing you to shape your tone for any musical situation. The active/passive switch gives you the best of both worlds—pure, direct tone in passive mode or enhanced sound-sculpting in active mode.
High-Mass Die-Cast Bridge
The Vintage Plus bridge is designed for maximum string vibration transfer to the body, enhancing sustain and resonance. Its high-mass design provides rock-solid intonation and tuning stability even under aggressive playing styles. Each string can be precisely intonated for perfect pitch across the entire fingerboard, ensuring your bass always sounds its best.
Innovative Headstock Design
The ergonomic headstock design optimizes string tension and reduces dead spots by providing straight string pull across the nut. This design choice contributes to superior tuning stability and enhanced sustain by eliminating energy loss at the nut. Combined with quality die-cast tuners, this headstock design ensures precise and stable tuning performance.
