Description

If you’re looking for an instrument to be the bedrock of your music, the TRBX 500 Series is for you. This is time-honoured craftsmanship creating a bass that doesn’t compromise on precision and road-ready durability. The TRBX504 is versatile with serious tone, features controls for master volume, balance and 3-Band EQ with an active/passive switch for maximum flexibility. The H5 pickups are defined by an open tone, their quad-polepiece design and alnico magnets give them the power to drive the active circuit and subtly capture each nuance in the passive mode. The Active/passive circuit offers a level-matched output and tone-switching circuity that allows seamless moves from treble control to master passive tone. Superior quality gold-plated parts are used for key signal chain, providing increased conductivity while the battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indications to avoid power loss during a great performance.

The neck design has a 5-pc maple/mahogany laminated construction and uses a bolt-on neck joint for additional comfort and a clear, punchy tone. The perfect balance of the neck joint is because of the hours of play-testing while the 43 mm (5 string) nut widths add to the comfortable playability.

Electronics (Active/Passive selecter, Battery Alert)

TRBX500 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. The 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 a battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indication of low power to eliminate sudden power loss during performance.

Body

TRBX features a sculpted solid mahogany body, with a mass-optimized 3D design for the optimum balance between tone and comfort coupled with perfect weight distribution.

Headstock

38mm (4-string) or 43mm (5-string) nut widths give fast, comfortable playability for any style.

Pickups

YGD designed H5 pickups are defined by a clean, open tone that’s perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. Their quad-polepiece 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.
