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.TRBX500 models feature an audiophile-grade active/passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. The advanced design offers a level-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone.

Straight string pull from nut to machine head eliminates lateral tension, providing superior tuning stability and reducing overtones.38mm (4-string) nut widths give fast, comfortable playability for any style.
