Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This TA-204 FRX is a serious instrument built for metalheads and anyone needing a powerful, aggressive bass tone. The longer scale and Floyd Rose tremolo give it a unique character, and the roasted jatoba board feels fantastic. It’s a great option for players wanting Araya’s signature sound without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bass tremolos can be trickier than guitar ones; careful setup and quality strings are essential for maintaining tuning under heavy use.
It's generally comfortable, but some with very large hands might find it slightly snug; a visit to a store to try it is recommended.
The ESP pickups offer a more aggressive, scooped mid-range, providing a tighter, more modern sound than many vintage-style pickups.
