History:
Purchase: I paid £200 for my guitar from fret music, and was annoyed at the fact that it's cheaper online. www.zingsmusic.net do a v.good deal on it compared to in store prices. The guitar looked, played, and sounded nice, and as a second guitar i didnt think £200 was a bad price.
What I Like About This Unit: The reaction is minimalistic and makes the fretboard and other strings easy to glide across. The body shape is cool and the colour looks brilliant, but i spose its more about what it sounds like. I've put it through a few big amps, not sure of the wattage but they must have been about 100w, if not close to that, and the pickups handled it easily, with no fuzz or cutting out.
What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha RGX 121S:
RGX 121S Quality: The tone knob is quite loose and comes away pretty easily. I also lost power to one of the pickups so little sound travels if i put the selector switch onto that one, and i have checked inside and the wires all seem connected well, so i dunno why that is. I guess i should go to a shop and ask.

Get this bass if you are beginning or advanced. It's great, not heavy and very comfortable sitting or standing.

Overall this is a good set. I expected more from a Yahama kit, I wasnt blown away, maybe a higher end model will do that, but this is just a good set.
