    Great price. Of all the cheaper basses on the market this is the best value and quality. P+J pick ups great sound and choice. Easy to play, nice action. The supplied strings are not great, sounds much better with decent strings, a must! Beautiful looking bass, great price, great sound!

    Better magnets should make this bass perfect! Only magnets, but that's changeable. Easy to play, like the sound.

If I ever needed to upgrade, I would definitely consider putting some proper decent pickups in this bass rather than buy another. Sustain could be better on occasions I suppose, but I can't call it bad by any stretch of the imagination.

    There are no dead spots on the fretboard an ...

    The Yamaha RBX-170 gives absolute perfection for a beginner's bass, and even for the intermediate. It sounds like it could cost heaps more, and is nice to play and pleasing to the ear. Smooth action
    Real rosewood fretboard
    Wide tonal range, with a P and J pickup.
    If you are looking for a great value yet smooth sounding bass then look no further!
