An active\/passive switch lets you run a 3-band EQ when the mix needs shaping, or go passive and let the Alnico V pickups speak for themselves. The Natural finish shows off the flamed maple top over an alder body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlamed maple over alder, five-piece neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body pairs a flamed maple top with alder underneath, on a bolt-on five-piece maple and mahogany neck at a standard 34-inch (863.6 mm) scale. Laminated necks like this hold their shape better as the seasons change, which matters in Queensland humidity. A rosewood fingerboard carries 24 medium frets over a 10-inch (250 mm) radius, so the top octave is there when a line calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAlnico V double-coil pickups\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth pickups are double coils built on Alnico V magnets with a quad pole-piece layout. That combination gives enough output to drive the active circuit hard, and enough sensitivity in passive mode that fingerstyle dynamics and ghost notes come through. Gold-plated contacts sit at the key points in the signal path for reliable conductivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eActive\/passive preamp with 3-band EQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eControls are a master volume, a pickup balancer to blend neck and bridge, and a 3-band EQ with bass, middle and treble. Flick the switch to passive and the EQ steps out of the way, which is handy for recording or for a straight old-school sound. A battery alert LED warns you before the preamp goes flat mid-set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHigh-mass bridge, die-cast tuners, straight pull\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high-mass die-cast bridge anchors the strings for solid sustain, and the covered die-cast tuning machines line up for a straight string pull from nut to post, which keeps tuning steady. The output jack is mounted on a metal plate rather than straight into the wood. The neck is 38 mm across the urea nut and 19.5 mm deep at the first fret, a comfortable size for long sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet up and ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you. Action, relief and intonation are dialled in so the TRBX604FM arrives playing the way a bass at this level should, and you can spend the first night learning it rather than adjusting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRBX604FM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\" (250 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eElectronics\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble Coil \/ Alnico V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eControls\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster Volume, Pickup Balancer, 3-BAND EQ(Bass, Middle, Treble), Active\/Pssive Switch.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBody\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlamed Maple\/ Alder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFret Wire\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFrets\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNut\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUrea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNut Width \/ 12th Fret\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.0 \/ 56.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNeck Thickness (1st \/ 12th)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5 \/ 21.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBridge Pickup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble Coil \/ Alnico V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBridge \/ Hardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-cast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eTuners\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCovered \/ Die-cast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eStrings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD'Addario EXL170-5\/0.045-0.130 (5 strings)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBolt-on\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34\" (863.6 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple\/Mahogany 5pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619852972322,"sku":"ZZ15440","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/namm-guide-2018-29__63330.1763423308.1280.1280_22ca9b9f-df14-44e8-821c-cc3de6ae747a.jpg?v=1790234518","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-trbx604fm-electric-bass-natural","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
