Hello! I’m looking to get my first 5 string and I have narrowed it down to the Yamaha TRBX. There is a used 305 for sale for £330 near me and there is a new 505 for sale for £530. Are the extra features worth the £200?
I see some people really like the 300 series EQ 5-way preset selector.
Just listen to clips of both TRBX 300 and TRBX 500 and decide based on sound preference. The 300 series is apparently a really good bass too.
Pickups and electronics are the only difference. So I’d say hear them both and decide if one’s worth twice the other, which I doubt unless you are looking for a very specific sound. Both are going to be almost indentical in feel and very well built for the price as they’re Yamaha.
