Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - Matte Amber | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha TRBX605FM is a premium 5-string electric bass built for players who demand a wide tonal range, rock-solid construction, and effortless playability across any genre — available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Its striking flamed maple top over an alder body, five-piece maple/mahogany neck, and dual Alnico V double-coil pickups combine to deliver a rich, full-frequency response that handles everything from vintage low-end thump to modern, cutting grind. Whether you're holding down the low end in a studio session or driving a live band mix, the TRBX605FM is a serious instrument built for serious players.

Product Overview

The TRBX605FM is constructed around an alder body with a flamed maple top — a pairing that balances alder's tight, focused midrange with the harmonic richness and visual character that flamed maple brings to the table. The Matte Amber finish is applied in satin polyurethane, giving the guitar a refined, natural look that lets the flame figure do the visual work. A matching painted headstock ties the overall aesthetic together cleanly. The body is anchored to the neck via a five-bolt mitered neck joint — a more secure connection than a standard four-bolt design — and rubber mute pads behind the bridge eliminate unwanted string noise for a cleaner, more controlled output.

The five-piece maple and mahogany neck is one of the TRBX605FM's defining structural features. Alternating maple and mahogany laminates provide exceptional rigidity and resistance to seasonal movement, while the combination of tonewoods contributes both brightness and warmth to the instrument's overall voice. The satin polyurethane neck finish keeps the feel fast and natural under the thumb. A rosewood fingerboard with a very flat 23 5/8-inch radius (600mm) sits atop the neck, offering a nearly straight playing surface that suits the wide string spacing and extended scale of a 5-string bass — 24 medium frets provide access to the full upper register, and the slim 1.7-inch nut width keeps the neck surprisingly approachable for a five-string instrument.

Two Yamaha custom double-coil Alnico V pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge — are wired to a fully active 3-band EQ preamp with an active/passive bypass switch and a battery alert LED. The 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble) gives players precise control over their tone at the instrument level, reducing dependence on amp EQ for live shaping. A master volume and pickup balancer round out the control layout. The active/passive switch is a practical safeguard for gigging musicians — if the battery dies mid-set, a quick flip maintains signal continuity without any interruption to the performance.

Ideal For

• 5-string electric bass players seeking the best Yamaha TRBX605FM for versatile studio and live performance tone
• Intermediate to professional bassists who want active EQ flexibility and the extended low range of a 34-inch scale 5-string
• Rock, funk, R&B, and jazz players who need a bass that transitions smoothly between vintage warmth and modern punch
• Gigging musicians who value the active/passive bypass as a reliable failsafe for uninterrupted live performance
• Players upgrading from a 4-string bass looking for a slim-necked, approachable 5-string with professional-grade appointments

Key Features

Flamed Maple Top Over Alder Body The flamed maple top enhances harmonic richness and visual character while the alder body provides a focused, balanced tonal foundation — a combination that produces a wide frequency response from deep lows to articulate highs.

Five-Piece Maple/Mahogany Neck Alternating maple and mahogany laminates provide exceptional neck stability and resist warping under environmental stress, while contributing a tonal blend of brightness and warmth that complements both pickup positions.

Dual Alnico V Double-Coil Pickups Yamaha's custom double-coil pickups use Alnico V magnets and overwound coils to capture a clear, punchy, full-range tone — blending neck and bridge via the pickup balancer opens a wide spectrum from vintage thump to modern grind.

3-Band Active EQ with Active/Passive Switch The onboard bass, middle, and treble EQ controls give players precise tonal shaping at the instrument, while the active/passive bypass switch ensures the bass remains fully functional even if the battery depletes mid-performance.

Battery Alert LED A dedicated battery alert LED provides a visual warning before the preamp battery fully dies — a small but genuinely useful feature for players who rely on the active preamp during live performance.

Five-Bolt Mitered Neck Joint The five-bolt mitered joint provides a more secure and resonant neck-to-body connection than standard bolt-on designs, improving sustain and long-term stability without sacrificing the serviceability of a bolt-on construction.
