About Yamaha Bass Guitars

Yamaha, a Japanese company that makes everything from motorboats to synthesizers, made their entry to the bass guitar market in the 1960s. And just like their myriad of other products, Yamaha's bass guitars quickly gained recognition for their superior quality and unique sound.

Their first bass, the SB-2, cemented Yamaha's high-quality reputation in the world of low-down sounds. Since then, it's spawned an entire line of BB basses that span from entry-level to high-end professional, offering players a vintage aesthetic matched with a modern feel and tones.

Over the years, Yamaha bass guitars have become the choice of numerous prominent musicians. Billy Sheehan, a distinguished, award-winning bassist, is a notable endorser of Yamaha and his signature model, the Attitude, is a testament to the brand's diversity and attention to the needs of professional musicians.

And while the Yamaha BB series is loved for its versatile sound, the RBX series provides a comfortable and modern design, ideal for players seeking a balance between classic and contemporary tones.

Yamaha's TRBX series is designed for the hard-working, versatile bassist. The TRBX504 model, in particular, offers a mix of advanced design, precision engineering, and time-honoured craftsmanship, making it a highly renowned model.

Yamaha's tradition of innovation and quality continues to resonate with bassists across the globe, as the company delivers a diverse range of instruments to cater to every player's unique needs and aspirations.
