Yamaha TRBX505 5-String Bass Guitar Translucent Black

The TRBX505 is a comfortable and solidly constructed bass with tone and features that belie its $550 price tag. I especially dug the impressively tight 5th string. A clever passive mode adds a new range of sounds to the 505’s already inspiring active tones. If you’re on the hunt for a versatile new workhorse that won’t set you back much coin, the TRBX505 definitely merits an audition.
