I just recently got this bass from a friend of mine who repairs guitars at a music store, and I have no idea what it is. At first, I thought it was a Yamaha TRBX174EW, but it doesn’t really match the other ones I’ve seen online.

My guess is that it’s a Yamaha TRBX174EW with a bunch of upgrades Hipshot bridge, EMG pickups, Spector tuners, and possibly even a replacement neck. The neck especially feels way more luxe compared to other lower-end Yamahas I’ve played.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Update: I've received a lot of validation for my theory, and I appreciate it. I will fix my string tree!
