Our take on the Yamaha TRBX604FM 4-String Bass

The Yamaha TRBX604FM is a four-string electric bass with a sculpted alder body topped with flamed maple, a five-piece maple/mahogany neck, and Yamaha's H5 humbucking pickups. Its active/passive switch lets you run the onboard EQ or bypass it for a straight passive tone, which makes it flexible for stage and studio work. It sits in the mid-range of Yamaha's TRBX line, above the TRBX304 and below the Japanese-made models, and competes with active basses from Ibanez and Cort on pickup flexibility and neck feel. Owners tend to praise the build and the range of tones for the money, while some find the preamp bright and the bass heavy on the shoulder.

Best forWorking bassists who need active and passive tones in one bassRock, funk and pop players who want humbucking pickupsPlayers stepping up from a beginner bassStudio and cover-band players who switch styles often

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the TRBX604FM highly for its build quality, playable neck and the flexibility of its active/passive electronics. Criticism centers on weight and on a preamp tone some find too bright.

What people mention

  • Active/passivePraisedThe passive mode is valued as a fallback and for a more traditional sound.
  • WeightCriticisedSome players find the bass heavy over long sets.
  • PreampMixedSome like the bright modern voice; others find it harsh and dial it back.
  • NeckPraisedThe five-piece neck is described as stable and comfortable to play.

Questions and answers

Is the TRBX604FM active or passive?
It is both. It has an active preamp with EQ, and a switch bypasses it for passive operation.
How does it compare with the TRBX304?
The 604FM adds a flamed maple top, a five-piece maple/mahogany neck and Yamaha's H5 pickups with active/passive switching, where the 304 uses different pickups and simpler electronics.
What is in the box?
The bass, a hex wrench and the owner's manual. A battery for the active circuit is not listed.
Does it need a battery?

Its humbuckers and EQ suit rock, funk, pop and cover-band work, and passive mode handles more traditional tones.
