Im also seeing it has a switch to change from active?** A: This listing includes 6 different Yamaha bass models. The 100 and 200 series have passive pickups. The 300 series has active pickups, with a 5-way instant EQ switch. The 500 series is active/passive, select-able with a toggle switch. **Q: What case will this fit** A: Most cases sized for a long-scale bass should fit I would think. If it helps, the body is 13in wide x 20in to top horn, with a total length of 43.5in from top of headstock to bottom strap button. Best of luck to you! **Q: Which website can i purchase upgrade parts for the yamaha trbx605 5-string?** A: That is a broad question. For bridge I like graph tech, for assorted parts, Stewmac.com, for pickups, that is I pick taste thing, Duncan is solid, pots - mojo tone is good depends on what you are doing **Q: The bass is made in Japan ?** A: no, it is made in Asia, I can't remember the country. Indonesia. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***H on 30 December 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***Z on 15 August 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***N on 9 February 2022* ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha TRBX174 Old Violin Sunburst Agathis Body, 4-String Electric Bass Guitar - New bee Guitar Cable 10ft Electric Instrument Bass AMP Cord for Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/75814292-yamaha-trbx174-4-string-electric-bass-old-violin-sunburst](https://www.desertcart.us/products/75814292-yamaha-trbx174-4-string-electric-bass-old-violin-sunburst) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
