Yamaha RBX 170 Review

History:

Purchase: $169 GuitarCenter

Pros: Great sustain (thanks to Alder body) even with flatwound strings Good Pickups - "P" - is smooth (especially with flatwound strings), and "J" is "jazzy" Great sound nice design



Cons: "J" style might pickup noise if close to computer or other high interference source. BUt its normal, so i dont think its a minus.

RBX 170 Quality: -Excelent workmanship! -paintjob is flawless -frets are perfect -neck is straight -biggest plus of them all - when i bought it, it didnt need any adjustments! (i just lowered 1st string - personal preference) -beware Malaysian models - people said they have "bad" shipment. -Indonesian or Japanese (rare) is the way to go

Yamaha Summary: GREAT STARTER BASS! TRULY A NUMBER 1 CHOICE!!!
