« Yamaha RBX270 »

Published on 03/07/03 at 15:00
I paid $170 plus shipping on Musicians Friend.

Almost everything. It is built solid, has a great treble-rich sound, a fast action, and a cool finish. All this for only $170? It sounded a little too good to be true to me--until I played it. This one plays like basses 10x the price. If you are in need of a good, gigable bass for under 200, this is your one.

The shape of the body looks kinda like the Rogue LX200 (which is the same price but looks worse and has a reputation for falling apart), and I think that Yamaha could give it a better name than the RBX270.

Excellent. It is a solid little beast that will take a lot of abuse (however, if you harm it intentionally, I will come to your house and ***********************).

It is a great buy for the money. So what if there's a stigma attached to the stage performer with an inexpensive Yamaha in his/her hands! It compares to the Music Man Stingray in sound. I only use my $1700 stingray in the studio. On stage, this baby really gives a blow to the gut.
