{"product_id":"yamaha-trbx304-black-4-string-active-bass","title":"Yamaha TRBX304 4-String Active Electric Bass, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TRBX304 is the bass we point people to when they want one bass that covers everything. Solid mahogany body, 5-piece maple\/mahogany neck, two humbuckers and an active preamp, at a price where most basses are still passive with a volume and tone knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it plays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e34\" scale with a 38 mm (1.5\") nut and a slim 19.5 mm profile at the first fret. It feels quick without feeling thin. All 24 frets are usable because the bolt-on heel is carved down for upper-fret access. The body is sculpted and well balanced, so it sits level on a strap instead of diving toward the floor on a long set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it sounds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Yamaha M3 ceramic humbuckers mean no single-coil hum under stage lights or next to a computer when you're recording. The real reason to buy this bass is the Performance EQ: a 5-way switch that calls up five different preamp voicings, with active bass and treble knobs on top to fine-tune whichever one you land on. The pickup balance knob blends neck and bridge, so you can go from round and deep to tight and punchy without touching your amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to stay in tune\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headstock gives each string a straight pull from nut to tuner, which helps it hold pitch. The die-cast bridge is heavy and solid, and it gives you a lot of sustain and room to adjust intonation and string height. Ships with D'Addario EXL170 strings (.045 to .100).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers moving up from a first bass who want active tone and a better neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking bassists who need a dependable backup or a fly-date bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuitar players and producers who need one bass that covers rock, funk, worship and pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gift that a bass player won't outgrow in six months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying it from The Pied Piper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCome in and plug it in.
