Build the groove beneath the music.
Choose the TRBX305 if you want a bass that reaches below a standard four-string instrument. Its sculpted body and five-piece neck suit regular practice, rehearsals and stage use. This is a bass guitar, not a six-string lead guitar.

Shape your tone without reaching for an amp.
Blend the two M3 humbuckers, adjust bass and treble, or use the five-position Performance EQ switch for a quick change. These active controls make the TRBX305 a different choice from a passive bass such as the BB435.

A few things to know.
Why choose five strings instead of four?
The extra low B string lets you play notes below a standard four-string bass. It also gives you more ways to play a bass line without shifting position as much.
Can I plug headphones straight into this bass?
No. Connect the bass to a suitable amplifier or audio interface, then use that device’s headphone output. The bass has an instrument output, not a headphone socket.
