Getting to the quality of the instrument though, it is outstanding quality. Yamaha instruments provide value for money that you can't find with a lot of other manufacturers. Everything they produce seems to be several levels above the price point in terms of quality. I would put this on par with instruments that cost twice as much. There's a reason so many schools default to Yamaha for their students and it's not just based on price. Their products don't have as much character or aren't as pretty as other instruments, but you'd never get more for your money with another brand.
Second the build quality is great, the paint on the body looks amazing, a nice deep metallic blue that the photos don't show off as nice as in person. Neck is full length with 24 frets, a nice smooth satin finish, frets ends were all smooth, no sharp edges at all and a nice smooth fret board. The hardware is good, chrome tuners and bridge and a P/J style set of pickups, two volume and one tone control knobs that feel smooth.
I did my own setup after watching some videos, I put on my own new strings right away, a slight truss rod adjustment, lowered the bridge a bit and it's playing and sounding very nice now. For the price this is a great instrument, fine for beginners or anyone really, to get something noticeably better would have cost another $100-200 bucks, and at my skill level this is perfect, a higher end guitar would not make my practicing any easier!
No regrets at all with this bass, love the looks, feel, sound and quality, and at this price I'm super happy!

I may have gotten lucky, but my bass was perfectly set up when it arrived. The neck relief was perfect, the pickups in the sweet spot and the intonation was spot on. As well there isn’t a single fret that buzzes. Plays very well!
The one downside to this bass would be the weight; it comes in at around 12 lbs. It is heavier than the Squire P-bass I have. I don’t mind, and a good strap will help, but it’s something to consider if you’re of slight build.
Overall I find this to be an excellent value that I would purchase over again without hesitation.

I re-strung it for a high C tuning and changed to a lighter gauge of strings with a 0.040" G string. Though the nut slots are much wider than I need for this setup, I haven't experienced any problems with playability or tuning. I've been able to set the action fairly low, just above 2mm at the 24th fret except for the E string which needed 3mm.
The total length and the body are both somewhat smaller than a Precision, and it feels really comfortable. The flip side is that finding a hard case that fits snugly is a challenge since Yamaha doesn't sell one, and it moves around far too much in the cases I already have. But it's totally fine in my gigbag.
If there's a weak spot for this instrument it's the onboard EQ. I find it useful for making minor tweaks to the sound but not for any kind of radical sculpting. In particular the mid control seems to have a fairly low center frequency so I've not been able to use it to get a good scooped slap sound or to dial in a satisfying mid-forward sound for soloing. But I can use the amp or an outboard processor for that.
I expected high quality from Yamaha, and I feel they delivered.

I would highly recommend you YAMAHA TRBX174
I received an INDONESIAN MADE which is an absolute piece of premium built and sound with 2 Allen key inside the box.
Don't think twice go ahead start learning because this will go for a longer period of time.
Kudos to CHENNAI MUSICAL FOR ALL THE WARRANTY WORK DONE WELL OVER THE WARRANTY PAPERS IN THE BOX.
