Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The TRBX 304 CAR is a seriously solid bass for the money. It's got a warm, punchy tone thanks to the mahogany body and ceramic pickups, and that Performance EQ is a clever touch for quickly dialing in different sounds. This is a great choice for gigging musicians who want a reliable, versatile instrument without a premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the fingerboard is finished with a gloss coating, typical of Yamaha's construction. It provides a smooth playing surface and protects the wood.
While mahogany can sometimes be prone to muddiness, Yamaha’s pickup and EQ choices in the TRBX 304 CAR help to counteract that, delivering a balanced and defined tone.
