Yamaha TRBX304 Electrical Bass - Black

Hubby bought this as his first bass, after learning accoustic and electric, and reports that it has a beautiful mellow sound that is a delight to hear. It is gentle on the fingers and light, and pleased him immensely. Highly reccomended for your first bass guitar (just remember to buy an amplifier for it)

This is my baby! I've owned many guitars and basses over the years, but this is one of the best I've ever bought and played! Plays great , sounds fantastic, extremely versatile tones.

Amazing quality forn he price. I think its one the best entry level base you can buy at the moment.

Very premium quality,best for the price, looks very premium and durable

Es una bajo muy bien construido de buena calidad, cómodo para tocar , activo y pasivo que nunca falla

You can stop looking. If you're ready to graduate from the $150-250 beginner range but don't think you're yet ready to drop a grand on a bass, this is the one. Hell, you don't even really need to drop more on one, this is flexible enough for anything you need. Looked and felt great right out of the box. Only a very minor truss adjustment to correct a little fret buzz and I was off to the races. From this price point on up, you'd be wise to take it to a luthier (most guitar shops will have one on staff) to get it adjusted just to make sure it's in top shape, if you haven't done it yourself. You can learn to adjust (it isn't difficult) but it isn't very expensive to have it done for you, either. The active/passive pickup is a great addition and worth the step up from the 304. Once I started using it, I'm not sure how I was able to do without it for so long. The back of the body has an LED battery warning indicator so you won't be caught flat-footed with a dead battery when you're in active mode. It does automatically switch over to passive when it loses power, though. Don't take the missing fifth star as criticism. I only use five stars for above and beyond. Take the fours as ringing endorsements. To address the categories Amazon asked about: As far as for beginners, you can find less expensive basses in the $150-200 range, this might be a little pricey for someone's first instrument. The TRBX174 at about $229 (they're still widely available as of April 2021) might suit the absolute beginner a little better at a much lower price point. That said, you definitely can't go wrong with this one if the money isn't a concern. Craftsmanship is top notch. This bass is made in Indonesia. I was a little squirrelly, but the construction is top notch and I found nothing to complain about. I couldn't find any obvious flaws, and it looks, feels, and plays great. No cheap construction materials here. It was perfectly tuned and had only minor fret buzz out of the box, something common with any bass. One quick adjustment and we're off. Versatility is the best I've experienced so far. It works great in the basement, studio or stage. I mostly use it for practice and home use, but it's stood up to everything I've thrown at it. I've tried to find limitations but haven't found any. The active/passive option is something I didn't think about when I ordered; I'd never played with it before. But now that I have it it's like adding a fifth gear, I notice its absence when I'm playing any of my other basses. In short: this is your sign that this is the bass for you.

No soy musico profesional, seleccione esta en particular porque estaba en oferta y la marca me es familiar. Hasta donde puedo ver la construccion es de buena calidad con un acabado que la hace lucir mas constosa de lo que fue. La utilizo para Rocksmith, el bajo suena bien y responde muy bien a mi limitada experencia, estoy contento con la compra.

インドネシア製のベースで少し不安な所はありましたが、非常に丁寧な作りをしていると思います。 プリアンプ内蔵でアクティブ、パッシブの切り替えが出来て音も良い。 そして何より軽い！3kg後半で取り扱いがし易い。 出荷時からの弦高の調整は高めでしたので、さすがに調整をする必要があると思います。 このベースが6万前後で購入できるとは恐るべしYAMAHA 初心者さんに初めの１本としておすすめだと思います。
