This TA-604 FRX is a serious instrument built for aggressive metal and rock tones, straight from Tom Araya's rig. The EMG pickups and 35-inch scale give it a distinctive, low-end thump and a longer string length for extra low-end extension. It's a premium-priced bass, but delivers a pro-level feel and sound for the serious player.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pau Ferro is denser and generally feels smoother than Rosewood, offering a slightly snappier attack and improved durability.
The D’Addario XL165s are a standard gauge for a 35-inch scale, so replacements are readily available and straightforward.
Like most active pickups, there's potential for some noise, but the EMG 35 DCs are well-shielded and generally quiet with proper grounding.
