I just got the Candy Apple Red & yes, pictures do these no justice. It’s beautiful... Thank you for your review. I’m eager to get started...
Welcome to the bass family! You're going to love it. ⚡️
Picking up the candy red tomorrow 😊
Position 1 is a '70s-porn soundtrack setting, Position 4 is the $2,500 Warwick Clone setting.
Wow great review! Didn't skip any advertisement. Worth it!
This review convinced me to purchase and it was the absolute best decision! Thank you!
..and again a superb review, thank you Nick! I love the trbx 304/305 series, amazing sound possibilities and great workhorses. ❤️👍
Out of all the videos that I've watched trying to figure out if I should buy this bass or not, you gave me the answer I needed, and more than enough information, thank you
How have only just found your channel, it's brilliant and you're akways got a great smile....as Bob the Painter would say happy basses
Beautiful bass ❤️
*Nick Latham* Love it !!
Thanks for providing a great review of this bass. I recently purchased a used Yamaha TRBX304 bass.
Monster playing and impressed with tone options on this thing
Thanks, yea no kiddin'! It's pretty damn good for the money.
Nick, your playing is on another level. 👍
Thanks a lot Mike!
I bought one a while ago in the mist green color. A superb bass for the price.I like it as much as my Stingray4, Fenders, & Rickenbacker.
A very good Review , thanks ! For this price , very good and a yamaha .
Just ordered one of these in black, direct from Yamaha. Can't wait!
I don't think you will be disappointed!
@@helloitsnicko I was originally looking at an Ibanez, as I've owned one before and I've never played a Yamaha, however your review, and one other, really impressed me. What a great bass. Thank you for posting this.
Great demo video. I've had mine for about 4 months now. Out of my 5 basses this is my go to bass. So versatile especially for recording. I recommend it, and for the price you get a lot of bass guitar for little money. I didn't get paid for this. just my opinion.
You've just summed this bass up in a nutshell!
Awesome demo, nick. I do like the blue finish on this bass. I also like the other colors on this bass like red, black, and pewter. Plus the versatility sounds phenomenal. I own a Yamaha trbx bass and it sounds killer. It’s a real keeper for me.
Thanks Alex! I've seen the red and black ones in person and I must say this blue is definitely the nicest! Haven't seen a pewter one though. If the metallic-ness is done as well as it is on the blue one then I bet that'd look sick. This is one of those rare basses where I think a lot of people will get it as their first, but end up keeping it forever. Really good.
I bought the 5-string version of this bass a while back and it is such a killer sounding bass. And the factory blue finish looks stunning. It is a definite keeper for sure.
Great bass
I loved your playing in the end
Thank you!
Yeah some terrific music at the end 👍👍
I’m currently learning guitar but bass intrigues me so much, so I looked up some covers and found your chemical plant zone cover from 8 years ago. Now I’m here watching your review of a bass I’ve already been lookin at for the last 3 days. Your playing is incredible, I think I might end up switching to bass at some point, cool to know you still play bass and still upload :) subscribed 👌
That's awesome, thank you very much! But hey; why "switch"? Just learn both! 💥
Nick Latham I guess because I wanted to focus on one instrument for now, but honestly I love both so I’m just gonna get a bass and play both 😁
Hell yes!
Hey Nicko!! You’re playing is absolutely awesome!! In compassion to the Cort C4 plus, which one do you like beat or prefer?
I like this bass guitar
I really dont like active pickups but it's such a nice bass
I have it and I love it. It has fret buzz but it could be fixed of course. Or it's lack of skill on my part.
The color definitely looks better on video than their website. It looks terrible in their site haha. Looks like I’ll be getting the blue
Nice video thanks. I got mine from a popular "Sweet" web retailer and it was a mess. The fret edges were sharp and hurt my hand, the nut wasn't cut accuratly so intonation was a problem as well as playability at the specified action. I called the retailer and was told I could "talk" to the techs who supposedly inspect the instruments but I couldn't see the value in talking. I took it to a pro shop and spent the money to have all the problems rectified and now I can enjoy the bass. I was surprised being a Yamaha how poorly the instrument was set up and how it left the factory in that condition and also with any of the inspections the internet retailer allowed to slip through. It's a super nice bass once it's set up properly. Hopefully this one I got was a rare occurance.
Sorry to hear you has such a crappy experience. I've never encountered such problems with a Yamaha.
Sounds good enough for my ears. Wish Yamaha put option passive only since the build woods are good sounding classics.
Yeah that would have been cool, but it's not the end of the world :)
@@helloitsnicko trbx 504 is exactly the same as 304 but has a passive switch as well. costs like 100$ more though.
It's made of the same woods but the one I tried has different pickups! Video coming out tomorrow. 💫
@@helloitsnicko i see, i am just starting bass, i will probably get the 304 or the 174 as my first bass :) (leaning more towards the 304)
@@helloitsnicko try to review the 174 as well :)
good thing it gets good reviews cuz it ain't gonna be in stock for months... went with the ibanez instead...
I really enjoyed video! Want that bass👍😀
Nice one Vladimir! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. It's a great bass!
That switch is intersting, but it seems as though it might serve mostly to confuse when you're trying to get a sound in a live band setting. I cannot help but to think that Yamaha might have hit the target more squarely with a simple two band EQ and just four knobs.
Yeah exactly - I think you're completely right that it could confuse some people, and yeah, particularly in a band context. That's why I think it's a good idea to immediately discard the label on the front. They're just different sounds, really. As I said in the video though, they're all good sounds, and have their uses. It's just a case of getting to know this bass. I don't like the idea of almost being told to use *specific* tones for *specific* styles of playing, that view could be kinda limiting. It probably isn't good to get in the mindset of "right and wrong" when it comes to something like bass tones!
Hey Nick! Great review! You actually helped me get my first bass! I was looking at the green TRBX304 but it wasn’t available so I ponied up and got the Brick Burst TRBX504. I absolutely LOVE it!!
Question though! Something that keeps bringing me back to this video is the incredible bass line between 1:45 and 2:15. Could you please get that to me in tab or something? I’m a beginner and I would love to get a hold of that tune!
I would really appeciate it. Thanks again for the great review!
Great Bassist
yes - but the hair :-(
@@clauswechsler4019 Yes..what happen ya?
Covid-19 made me do it. I like it though, so get used to the egg-head! 🥚
Love the demo. My old BB200 sounds a bit flat by modern standards I don't wanna spend loads of dosh for a brighter less wooden sound.
Might check out the 5 string version. Nice playing my man!! I'm sold.
Thanks! I still sometimes think about this bass - genuinely so surprised by how good it plays, and its tonal versatility.
Hi Nick, hope all is well, my question is can you do a video on the new Yamaha TRBX505 Brick Burst.. Thanks much.
Hi Sheldon, I actually have done a demo of the TRBX505, a matte black one! Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/vLGAUjIYCa0/видео.html
Nick, what was that last riff? Sounded real good! Standard tuning?
Thanks Caleb! Just something I came up with on the day, standard tuning indeed. Happy new year! ⭐️
@@helloitsnicko So much L I C C
@@helloitsnicko sounds very mike dirntish, I love it!
both pickup pos 2 was deeper...the neck pickup was too metallic and tinny
You should play more sonic baselines like you did years ago
I do still wanna learn the entire OST of Sonic 3 & Knuckles at some point in my life ha, it'd be a shame not to.
Nick Latham I’m starting to learn the bass and watching your videos really inspires me to practice more so I can play more songs
That's really cool! Thanks. 🙂
como se llama el plastico trasparente?
etiqueta
Can i play this bass without battery??
It's active only, the trbx505 does have a passive/active switch, but it's more expensive
I didn't know this guitar was an active electronic
im hearing NO bass in pos 5
Hey Nick...............let your hair growing.
With this hairline? No way. Never again.
hw do u get d sweet fretbuzz?
its aktiv and passiv
I tried it and didn’t like it. Too heavy, body contour feels wrong, too many knobs and switch positions. Some kinda weird ass thumb notch on the pickup that makes you play in only that spot. I greatly prefer my Squire Affinity.
Different strokes for different folks. Happy to see you found an instrument you like. ✌🏻
