Yamaha TRBX605FM CB in Caramel Brown

This Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-string in Caramel Brown is built for players who want modern punch, slick playability, and a look that turns heads under stage lights. With its flamed maple top over an alder body and a fast 5-piece neck, it feels immediately inviting and ready for long sets, rehearsals, and recording sessions.

Features

The alder body topped with flamed maple gives this bass a classy, boutique vibe while keeping the weight and balance right where you want it. The 5-piece maple/mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a smooth, stable platform with a slim 43 mm (1.69") nut width that feels quick under the left hand, even across all five strings. Twenty-four medium frets put a full two octaves under each string, opening up plenty of room for chords, solos, and melodic runs.

Electronics are where this one really shines. A pair of Alnico V double-coil pickups feed a flexible control layout: Volume, Balance, and a 3-band EQ for Bass, Mids, and Treble. An active/passive switch lets you jump from detailed, sculpted tones to a more straightforward, organic voice at the flip of a switch. There’s also a battery alert LED to keep you from getting caught off guard mid-gig. Black chrome-plated hardware rounds out the look with a sleek, modern edge.

Tone

Plugged in, this bass delivers a tight, focused low end with plenty of authority on the B string, while the alder/maple body combo adds definition and snap. The Alnico V double coils give you a clear, musical midrange that can go from smooth and supportive to growly and aggressive when you dig in. Roll in more bass on the 3-band EQ for thick, chest-rattling thump, or push the mids and treble for articulate fingerstyle lines and pick attack that cuts through a dense mix. In passive mode it takes on a more direct, honest character that feels responsive and alive under your fingers.
