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.

Can’t stress the last sentence enough. Yamaha instruments are always a pleasure to play.
