Guitariste, je débute à la la basse. Une belle finition avec une bonne réponse à l’utilisation. Formidable avec des effets et le bouton de tonalité offre une excellente alternative pour corriger le son. Un peu plus cher pour un débutant mais elle vous rend meilleur. Super rapport qualité/prix.

Getting back into the hobby, this line is amazing budget quality. Coming from a Ric 4003 I sold years ago this bass feels nice and sounds nice for the price. Absolutely no bells and whistles, very basic but solid bass. Great for beginners or a practice bass.

That bass is stunning with beauty! The finition is top notch, the body is heavy, so it wont neck down when strapped. The neck is one piece maple wood, with a nice satin finish on the back of the neck. Its a fine bass for a low price, it surely can compete against more costly bass. Also, the seller is very careful on shipping, giving great attention to wraping and sending a fine instrument!! Thanks Piano Héritage!!✨

Yamaha guitars and basses are so underrated. This bass guitar was really nice right out of the package. Frets are nicely filed and polished with no sharp edges, and the paint finish is gorgeous. The neck feels great, and the weight balance is excellent, with no neck dive. It looks like the place I bought it from did a full setup, and checked it over which is very much appreciated.

So apparently the gig bag shown with this item is not included in the purchase. Despite not saying anywhere in the ad that the bag is not included, so that is a big disappointment. I attempted to contact the seller to rectify but Amazon wasn't able to deliver my message to them.

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.

After years of loving the sounds of the bass guitar in music I finally just had to get into playing it for myself. Did a lot of research and reading, watching reviews and all that, and this Yamaha TRBX174 was my final choice and I could not be happier with it. First thing is I love the style of the body and head, it has a nice clean modern look to it, and I'm happy to have it displayed on it's stand and just looking at it makes me want to pick it up and play.

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!

TRBX174: This bass is an excellent value that will outlast your beginner phase. The P & J-style pickups bring an array of classic bass tones with the added versatility of a two octave neck. I bought the OVS and the bass is stunning.

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.

En el paquete sólo viene el instrumento junto a la garantía. No incluye funda, cable u otros accesorios. A pesar de ello, la precisión acústica en el pulsado de cuerdas, la limpieza del sonido y la calidad de los materiales destacan sobremanera a este bajo por encima de otros en esta gama. Ideal para principiantes o músicos con nivel intermedio.

This bass was set up very well and was ready to play right out of the box. It's light and well-balanced, looks every bit as good as the pictures. The neck is just a bit wider than my 70's Precision (4 string), but it's thinner so is actually much easier to get around. The overall sound is good -- and may be great once I find the best strings for it. The active/passive switch and the LED battery indicator are both really handy and not often found in this price range.

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.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO START ON BASS.

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.
