• Pickups: YGD designed H5 pickups are defined by a clean, open tone that’s perfectly matched with the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design. Their quad-polepiece design and alnico magnets give them the power to drive the active circuit and the sensitivity and subtlety to capture every nuance in passive mode.
• Electronics(Active/Passive selecter, Battery Alert):TRBX500 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. The advanced design offers alevel-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone.High-quality gold plated parts are used for key signal chain contacts, providing increased conductivity and reliability and a battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indication of low power to eliminate sudden power loss during performance.

• Bridge: A high-mass die-cast bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body for full, rich tone combined with excellent adjustability and road-tested durability. 19mm string spacing on the 4-string model offers outstanding playability for technical slap or fingerstyles.
• Headstock: Straight string pull from nut to machinehead eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones.
• Nut: 38mm (4-string) nut widths give fast, comfortable playability for any style.
• Output Jack: Yamaha’s metal plate-mounted standard jack socket offers superior durability and easy maintenance.
