Just started playing bass. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this Yamaha TRBX174. The price of $220 made it an easy decision.

#4. When will it end? Was looking for a P-Bass and had one picked out that was on sale, but I kept picking this thing up and it didn’t hurt that it was pretty inexpensive. I like the color and I really like it when the headstock matches. Anyway, the sound out of this thing is different than one of the other P-Basses. A little more bite or something, plus the neck feels better to me too. I did the initial setup myself. I think some fret work needs to be done on it so I’ll let a pro handle that. Only one problem with this bass is that there is some awful noise coming from it so I’ll be opening it up this weekend and having a look. I suspect that a grounding wire isn’t attached somewhere. I’ve also ordered some copper shielding tape and having a go at that this weekend. The noise goes away when you touch anything so thats a big clue. Anyway, I love this bass. I wonder what #5 will be?

I absolutely love that color and the matching headstock is just the right touch. I played one like that at the Pinesville GC over the weekend and really enjoyed it.

I didn’t think it was Fender because the the pups and control plate, someone definitely gave that bass some love

“End”? I don’t even know what that word means in this context.

I find that Mozzarella imparts a soft yet smooth tone… :upside_down_face:

True.

But I shy away from Havarti for the bass body. Prone to dings.

On Italian basses, I prefer Parmigiano Reggiano. It is brittle, but I dig its crisp percussiveness.
