Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst Electric Bass Guitar

Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst Electric Bass Guitar

Are you looking for an electric bass guitar that combines a striking look, comfortable playability, and classic features in one attractive package? Then the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst Electric Bass Guitar is a model that will immediately catch your eye. The product description itself highlights that this bass not only impresses with Yamaha’s renowned quality but also stands out visually thanks to its Exotic Wood Laminated Top made of mango wood. The grain of the laminated top, in particular, is explicitly described as a real eye-catcher. At the same time, the instrument features the characteristic ergonomic TRBX shaping, which means the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar not only stands out visually but is also designed for comfortable playing.

Construction and Materials

The Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar is listed as having a mahogany body and a laminated exotic wood top made of mango. At the same time, the product description mentions a body made of solid alder. Both of these differing specifications are included in the available product information. The neck is made of maple; the neck joint is bolt-on, and the neck finish is matte. The fingerboard is made of rosewood and features 24 medium frets. It also includes dot inlays to mark the frets. The fingerboard radius is 10 inches or 254 mm. The scale length is specified as long scale at 34 inches or 864 mm. This is complemented by a nut width of 40 mm and a urea nut. Overall, the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar thus offers a clearly defined technical foundation with classic and practical features.

Playability and Ergonomics

A key focus of the description is on ergonomics. The typical TRBX body shape is explicitly described as extremely ergonomic. Thanks to the generous cutaways, comfortable playability is said to be possible all the way up to the highest frets of the bolt-on maple neck. The rosewood fingerboard with 24 medium frets and dot inlays also supports this clear focus on practical playability. The Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar is thus described as an instrument that combines comfortable handling with good orientation on the fingerboard. This design is particularly appealing to players who value an uncomplicated and comfortable playing experience.

Pickups and Electronics

For its pickups, the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar relies on a classic combination of ceramic split-coil and ceramic single-coil pickups. In the features section, the middle pickup is listed as: Ceramic Split Coil and Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Single Coil, while the product description refers to a split-coil pickup at the neck and a single-coil pickup at the bridge. I’m also adopting this information in accordance with the available product data. The electronics are passive. There is no switch. Controls include 2x Volume and Tone—specifically, two volume controls and one master tone control. According to the description, the pickups can be seamlessly blended using the individual volume controls, while the tone control allows for adjustment of the signal’s treble content. Thus, the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar offers a clearly structured and classically designed control layout.

Hardware and Construction

The Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar is also clearly described in terms of its hardware. It features a vintage-style hardtail bridge—specifically, a solid vintage-style bridge. It also features sealed tuners, which are listed as “Sealed” in the specifications. The hardware is chrome-plated, and strap pins are included as standard. There is no tailpiece. The color is Tobacco Brown Sunburst, and the finish is high-gloss. Combined with the mango top, the result is an instrument that derives its visual appeal from the wood grain and the sunburst finish. This is precisely what gives the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar a distinctive and clearly recognizable character.

Recommended Purchase

The Yamaha TRBX 174 EW Tobacco Brown Sunburst electric bass guitar is an interesting choice for anyone looking for a 4-string electric bass with an ergonomic design, a classic pickup combination, and an eye-catching wood finish.
