Yamaha Quality at an Affordable Price

The Yamaha TRBX174 bass guitar is an outstanding value for the modern bassist. The TRBX series is one of Yamaha's most popular basses, and for good reason. This cool-looking, great-sounding bass gives you a comfortable Yamaha body shape and a fast-action bolt-on maple neck with a smooth-playing sonokeling fingerboard. You get strong, punchy tone from the P/J arrangement of split-coil/single-coil pickups. Factor in the solid hardware and a range of great finishes, and you've got an eye-catching and ear-catching bass with the Yamaha TRBX174.

Comfortable body with progressive styling

One look at the Yamaha TRBX174 electric bass, and you know it means business. A deep cutaway gives you clean access to the higher registers for soloing, while the pronounced upper bout provides balance (and looks cool). You're going to love the way the TRBX174 looks and feels!

P/J pickup arrangement for a universe of great bass tones

The Yamaha TRBX174 sports a classic pickup layout: a split-coil in the middle position and a single-coil at the bridge. The Precision-style split-coil serves up the beef, giving you solid, deep fundamentals. the Jazz-style single delivers the growl, with strong mids and highs (particularly if you're strung up with round-wounds). How you combine the pickups is up to you, but one thing's for sure - you've got tons of tonal options!

Yamaha quality, through and through

The Yamaha TRBX174 bass is covered by the company's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Yamaha has been making world-class instruments for over a century, and they're supremely confident of the quality of the materials and workmanship that goes into their products. You can rest easy that you've made a solid decision in purchasing the Yamaha TRBX174 electric bass guitar!

Best value for a bass guitar

The PJ pickups are clean sounding and very versatile. The neck is very comfortable and playable. The metallic red finish is stunning. I love this bass.

Trbx174 an amazing bass

I ordered this bass and received it 2 days later. It plays and sounds fantastic. This bass feels awesome with a strap and the set up is perfect. I can't believe how great this bass is for the price.
Rated 5/5

Just for practice!

I was skeptical about this bass. The last time I bought a bass this cheap I got junk! But this Yamaha 174 sounds good and plays good! After I set it up I was even more impressed! I'm no Getty Lee, but I've been playing for a long time and if you want a bass to start out on or just for jamming with your friends without breaking the bank this bass is for you! Thanks Sweetwater.
