It's hard to find a cheap bass that is worth buying nowadays. Most are just imitations, with bad strings and poor sound. And an awful look as well.
This Yamaha RBX-170 instead, is different. Available in different colors, black, blue, red, it's able to catch everyone's attentions: first for its price, then for its brand and, finally, for its sound. Deep, groovy, almost perfect.
I'd recommend this bass to anyone, especially to beginners: don't "waste" your money in more expensive basses such as Fenders, Musicmans, etc.; buy this one instead, and exercise exercise exercise. You'll find that you still will want to use it even after becoming a pro.
