General

The Yamaha TRBX204 is an affordable bass guitar for beginner bass players that are looking for a solid and versatile instrument. The Old Violin Sunburst finish perfectly captures what makes this guitar so special. It's instantly reminiscent of an old instrument that has been around for many years of faithful service - that one instrument that's been there for you since the beginning of your musical journey. And that's exactly what Yamaha intends with the TRBX204: to offer you a solid bass guitar that will last you for many years to come.

TRBX204: versatile sound

Yamaha chose to make the body out of basswood, which doesn't just allow for a powerful, well-balanced tone, but is very lightweight as well. As such, this bass is comfortable to play standing up, even for extended periods of time. Furthermore, a set of two ceramic pickups offers a wide range of sounds, which you can combine using the pickup balancer. The Yamaha TRBX204 even features an active 2-band EQ that allows you to fine-tune the bass and treble to suit your preference.

The Yamaha TRBX series

The TRBX series is a combination of two of Yamaha's most popular bass guitar models: the TRB and the RBX. This new model is the perfect instrument for bassists who aren't willing to compromise on quality. It offers you the necessary sounds to support your performance with great flexibility so that you can create, accentuate and define your own personal sound. Enjoy unparalleled playing comfort thanks to a solid construction you can rely on.

Wrote the following about Yamaha TRBX204 Old Violin Sunburst active bass guitar

Mijn eerste basgitaar na jarenlang gitaarervaring. Perfect voor een beginner zoals ik. Mooie afwerking en prachtmodel. De Old Violin vond ik veruit de mooiste van deze serie.

Een half jaar geleden nog 60 euro goedkoper dus prima prijs dacht ik zo. Nog steeds trouwens.

Yamaha was een oude liefde van me; mijn eerste basgitaar ooit (RBX-50) was ook van dat merk.

Net als in dat grijze verleden is de afwerking weer uitmuntend. De klank en de mogelijkheden van deze moderne basgitaar kun je echter niet vergelijken met mijn oude beestje: deze is moderner en geeft veel meer 'punch'.

De actieve toonregeling is 'always on'; er is geen aan/uit schakelaar. Ik mis die totaal niet; de regelmogelijkheden van het actieve circuit zijn perfect gekozen. Ik heb nog vier andere basgitaren met actieve circuits, waaronder een tweetal uit het dure segment, maar deze Yamaha doet daar niet voor onder.

Resumé: hoewel de TRBX204 officieel in het budgetsegment valt is dat in de praktijk op geen enkele manier te merken. Het enige waar ik een tikje van baal is dat er geen fretloze versie van is. Ik zou die blind aanschaffen.
