Review: Best bass - Very premium quality,best for the price, looks very premium and durable
Review: Not just a budget bass but a premium bass - IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO START ON BASS. I would highly recommend you YAMAHA TRBX174 I received an INDONESIAN MADE which is an absolute piece of premium built and sound with 2 Allen key inside the box. Don't think twice go ahead start learning because this will go for a longer period of time. Kudos to CHENNAI MUSICAL FOR ALL THE WARRANTY WORK DONE WELL OVER THE WARRANTY PAPERS IN THE BOX.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am mixed answers on if the pickups are active or passive.. can anyone confirm which it is. Im also seeing it has a switch to change from active?**
A: This listing includes 6 different Yamaha bass models.  The 100 and 200 series have passive pickups.  The 300 series has active pickups, with a 5-way instant EQ switch.  The 500 series is active/passive, select-able with a toggle switch.

**Q: What case will this fit**
A: Most cases sized for a long-scale bass should fit I would think.  If it helps, the body is 13in wide x 20in to top horn, with a total length of 43.5in from top of headstock to bottom strap button.  Best of luck to you!

**Q: Which website can i purchase upgrade parts for the yamaha trbx605 5-string?**
A: That is a broad question. For bridge I like graph tech, for assorted parts, Stewmac.com, for pickups, that is I pick taste thing, Duncan is solid, pots - mojo tone is good
depends on what you are doing

**Q: The bass is made in Japan ?**
A: no, it is made in Asia, I can't remember the country. Indonesia.
