  eko djaz system's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Versatility for a small price"

  Characteristics

  Made in China
  
  24 frets

  Utilization

  The handle is a little big and wide.
  
  Not too heavy. I like the overall shape.
  
  Easy to go in the treble, especially as I go often.
  
  This gives a good sound quickly.

  Sounds

  I play jazz rock. I bought it because I'm bassist and I took to this style of music that I had left the low side for 10 years. So I was looking for a cheap low because the group, you know when it starts but it can end quickly. I do not want to invest immediately in the most upscale. The first year, she agreed well but I quickly found these limits (which handle lourding lack of fluidity, a little Mastoc what, microphones weaklings). I played a trace elliot and it was terrible. But hey, for a year, it did, I made my scales on it, it allowed me to put some tunes aside and aim higher.

  Overall Opinion

  I used it for 2 years. Being anxious to acquire a bass, I have not tried many others. This is the best among the Squier, Ibanez or Cort basses in the same range of price and quality.
  
  What I liked was the sound palette offered and what bothered me then, that the heavy (hit) of the handle and the sound still cradouille that emerges.
  
  For a low first price is still good and I recommend it to any beginner who has a limited budget.
  
  With the same budget, I do it again this election. Now, I went to a jazz bass deluxe mex and it's day and night. Be patient.

  enhancer88's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  read previous reviews.

  Utilization

  contrary to what I read on the first opinion: the handle is far from end ... it is even very thick it's pretty unpleasant.
  
  
  
  the weight is correct! the shape is nice and can easily play it.
  
  
  
  access to acute condition is easy to find all times of interest given that its frieze a max on this bass.
  
  
  
  we get a sound so easily haha. but then to say it's a good sound ... I'm not so sure he got a little disgusted by the time I took any other bass I did not want to let go and exchange it against the RBX:)
  
  
  
  the paint is pretty crappy and removed easily, perhaps a manufacturing defect ... but the back of the body has almost no paint to tell you ...

  Sounds

  the RBX is suitable for all styles of music there are no worries about that.
  
  
  
  the apparent slap really hard on it you really have to type like a nag. more of the strings that come in contact with the microphone we face a very big crack annoying

  Overall Opinion

  I used (AIS) for 3 years
  
  I acquired it by chance that my brother sold it to me for almost nothing ...
  
  what I like is the price to play on an active and versatile enough to allow good progress.
  
  
  
  value for money is not bad
  
  but for the same price I would do not have that choice and I would look perhaps more to the occasion (the physical appearance of the bass is less important than its performance to start)

  cigalehd's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  In China, but japanese creation.
  
  
  
  It is a flat handle, thin.
  
  -24 Frets
  
  -2 Humbruker active pickups (good quality)
  
  - Thanks to its micro but also can tone settings (bass + treble) can be found easily the sound you want.

  Utilization

  Thanks to its handle satin, it is very nice.
  
  The ergonomics of easy access low to high frequencies.
  
  For the weight that is reasonable.
  
  as mentioned earlier it is easy to find a good sound quality thanks to the micro but also the possibility to set different tones.

  Sounds

  It is a very versatile bass, you can do as well as metal blues / rock to reggae.
  
  
  
  I play with an amp Peavy TKO BW 115 made in United States (and by hand please)
  
  
  
  I prefer a very serious but his round and clear! few medium.

  Overall Opinion

  I have this bass for over a year.
  
  yes I have tried various low handle donations did not suit me (too flat bcp handle the Squier, OLP)
  
  What I like about this bass is its versatility, and almost infinite Possibility to find different sounds with no effect.
  
  The only complaint is its battery consumption (active of course) at least one cell / year.
  
  
  
  Rapprot the price / quality is excellent! I recommend this bass to anyone who wants to either start or to perfect!

  Punks not dead's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Made in China, Japanese design.
  
  
  
  Low active, rosewood fingerboard 24 frets, 2 humbuckers.
  
  
  
  Settings: balance, volume, bass and treble.
  
  
  
  Sleeve screws in al stocky, alder body.

  Utilization

  The handle is ergonomically trs, varnish, glue so if you have little hands Mouatt. Access to high and low easy. Weight level, sometimes it may seem heavy, but his, adpend how you hold it, adjusting your strap ...
  
  The sound quality is trs.
  
  There is a wide range of sound, even today it still surprises me, I can immediately find lots of rglage that offers many sound and play all styles, I now understand why it is said to is versatile!
  
  
  
  The handle is rather pais, trs but enjoyable, easy to play.
  
  
  
  Point Nagata, is that it is quite heavy

  Sounds

  For my part, I play everything, all kinds, all styles, all techniques ... Thurs fingers, mediator, funk, red hot, Jimi Hendrix (his last bass player), alien ant farm, nirvana, rage against the machine, system of a down, in short, in these areas, it is really good, it made good It's easy (well, must know the rglages DIFFERENT MMore and if you find a good galrez) to get the right sound, just turn the knobs (same as missing back of the pots, like numbers, for example).
  
  I play with a little 30w amp, a Laney Hcm30b, and although his name is Max Hard Core, it is not for the hard-core, and not only does not prevent to the slap, funk , grunge, combining them is just right.
  
  The types of sound, I can not tell you too, with the knob, you can get a deep, round, acute or shortly trs couillu Ya ..... what to do.
  
  
  
  She is super cool, it offers a wide Faceguard of his, for any style (blues / jazz, slap) I will not dwell, I can not rsumtoutes his ability, to see you. But eight months have APRS buy, I still discovering new sounds that dchire to slap, or its roots, in short ,.... it does not tire.
  
  
  
  Info: it may be that with the microphone, some sound parasyte appear from time to time, do not worry too much, sometimes it's a li electrical installation, if you are not a religious land (as in my room), noise can appear. must be of a static ELECTRICITY (I know not too much), finally, do not strss, its not just the bass, and it is a very small point that gene not the game .

  Overall Opinion

  Now I've had it 8 months, and I'm not. I am glad to have chosen for my beginners, she did not.
  
  
  
  <strong>The most:</strong> the finish, the quality sounds, the prision: can not pay for the price (almost) to find the same. Other brand is all about the name you pay and the quality APRS Yamaha is the quality which prevails, and that quality is cheap. It solid! (Train, car, airplane, skateboard)
  
  <strong>Cons:</strong> it could have done better at Yamaha is the knobs, I find that lack of design, there is not then took it hard to find his rglage; the Horn infrieur becomes uncomfortable in the long run, but beginners fesait I do not even care (ms of fat thighs have it be p-a louse! lol) Anyway, apart from all these little dots It is really good for beginners, and I would even say excellent for beginners.
  
  
  
  I tried several models, I can tell you that, but in the meantime, do not the price of the RBX374, nor its quality.
  
  Report qualitprix?? This question does not even and is EXTRA.
  
  
  
  Now, as I have accumulated a bit of experience, it's on, I wear my choices on the low quality of higher minimum in 1000 (lol), but today if I had the choice again, I ask not that same question again, I cast on the rbx374! sr is a value for beginners.
  
  SHE WOULD LIKE THE ROAD! She rides the wind of change!
  
  Of course I say and I RPET, this bass is not like a low 1000 or 2000, those who say it's a crap and playing or played on a stingray Musicaman ( 2000) or a G & l trs intlligent ussont not (to not say idiots )!!!. It is on a low at 250 does not compete with a low in 1500!
  
  
  
  The RBX 374est and remains a low trs good for beginners, period. we agree the above.

  SweBass's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  N / C

  Utilization

  - The handle is it enjoyable? Yes, very good race for beginners.
  
  - Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy? Everyone says it's simple, but quick access beyond the 15 frets, I'm evil!
  
  - Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Trslgre his strong point. the shape is beautiful, in short, we like it or not.
  
  - Gets it easy to sound good? ... Yes and no ... Easy, yes, but personally, I find that the sound is horrible, and lack of energy for active

  Sounds

  - Appropriate are your style of music? Yes, rock is fair
  
  - With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? Drive one of my old pack 45W
  
  - What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)? Equa amp level, while in the middle, and low, while a bottom. has a sound dirty on my amp, but it is passable on a 200W
  
  - What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? I like it when everything is doing. but not when it's too fat or too acute.

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you use it? 7 months
  
  - What is the particular feature you like best and least? I like its look, its lgret but I find that pets aparaissent very easy (even without shock) and the sound is a review, a synthetic sounds too my taste.
  
  - Have you tried many other models before acqurir? I had a Storm in a pack, I wanted the slightly more "upscale". but I try to normment RBX MODELS to replace the PLO as the stingray, jazz down ect.
  
  - How do you report qualitprix? Trs good for beginners, but for a little over ecperience, playing on the good stuff, is not at all.
  
  - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ... No no no. as I say, to begin, it should, but after it must be something else if you want to do concerts and repeat making a good sound.

  lionelsax's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I think everything has been said.
  
  24 frets, two humbuckers.
  
  Active Electronics.
  
  1 volume, 1 balance, control acute, severe control.
  
  Made in China.

  Utilization

  The handle is not too bad at the time I loved the wide, however it is not very pro, I always loved the bass, I quickly grew, now I play jazz themes, it some concern in the treble, that's a shame, for someone who plays rock but it goes to a jazz musician who loves chorusser is harder, it is less acceptable.
  
  You can get a good sound from the start but soon realizes defects.
  
  Its sometimes too blunt, not very pro.

  Sounds

  It should quite my style of music, I am very jazz and its derivatives, I rock and blues, of course, there I am a little slap history to learn things that are fashionable.
  
  I love the microphone with acute severe in the setting, it sounds good, sharp neutral position, it is not too bad.
  
  I play a Fender Rumble 100 W 15 inches.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for more than two years, I'll keep it anyway because it is not so bad price / quality ratio for a pretty decent force.
  
  However I tried a Squier Jazz Bass was a killer and much more just for an equivalent price, ie € 300.
  
  I tried passive Cort before buying a Squier Precision of 80 years, too expensive but very good, low collection of jazz bass Mexico. No money at the time and then I just wanted to get a bass.
  
  Today I hesitate between a six string, a five-string fretless, or a good Fender Jazz Bass.
  
  With the experience I would do certainly not the choice, I think this bass will be défrettée, I hate the lack of precision highs on the handle.

  zaber's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Low active, the only downside is that n'ay is no break in the stack as it is on low aautres putting u knob to zero.

  Utilization

  Channel super nice, correct finish for an Asian ...

  Sounds

  Played on an amp Gallien-Krueger Backline 115, sounds rich and varied, readily available

  Overall Opinion

  Used intensively for a month, very nice for a low price more than correct: 260 Total music in euros.
  
  I take it again without hesitation. I'm just going to pass it at the luthier for a set of handle and string height, and if not nothing wrong: a great bass for beginners or more

  linn134's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  A nice little low Chinese form a very modern, with a 24 round boxes screwed.
  
  It has two double-coil embedded in an electronic buffs active (eq 2 bands) of a blend of CONTRL and volume gnral. The pickups have a nice potato, a surprise to beginners for as little CHRE low.
  
  
  
  The bridge is solid, strong and a nice announcement Longva the mcaniques are also of good quality: they are good agreement and are a priori oil bath, or at least closed.
  
  
  
  The handle is stocky, his back is painted matte black and glides well. The key is rosewood, without the class of the bne is hard and gives her a slamming in conjunction with the alder body.
  
  
  
  The finish is very respectable, it's hard to say that it is Chinese and it motivates change your mind about the productions of this country msestim. For now, we pay for and more.

  Utilization

  The handle is one of its kind MODEL: C-profile and make it a perfect hoop strength of this low-low. CHAC is most acute in playable, especially since this bass has 24 frets. He travels with pleasure and enjoyable gliding trs.
  
  
  
  Body shape is also a Russianness. Without being a canon of beauty RBX The series sets the tone: we are in a modern and aggressive but not quite fall into the traps of the genre. It's good to break their usual Fender-like. The weight of the instrument is reasonable and the balance is near perfect.
  
  
  
  To get a good sound does not even turn the knobs ncessaire. Mode "nag" on the bottom with all adjacent something to have fun. This is the most natural position for the bass.
  
  
  
  L as it is close to faultless performance.

  Sounds

  This lets you go from low social roots in the slamming trs shortly.
  
  The rock is the territory of APRS prdilection tmoignages many, but I found him a certain charm in the sound flapping in the fingers and slap.
  
  N'tant not a fan of mdiator, I play it as it comes: Fawn quite percussive.
  
  Is good for your exact office: gnreux the vamp, the deep bass and I attribute a specially mention for its low-mdiums both malables and Submitted.
  
  
  
  The pickups are not foreigners such dbauche punch: two doubles (humbuckers) give about the results often pchus and RBX-374 n'chappe not the RULES.
  
  
  
  I am a follower of the sound it gives slap and fingers, the sound may be mdiator too strong I got. But in any case this state has lower teeth and a great sonic palette.

  Overall Opinion

  Rcent acquisition, this "little low" sduit me because it brings a modern sound and banging that I missed.
  
  
  
  For an incredible price, the Ibanez SRX300 bass explodes and a further 400 one.
  
  But although I like the Ibanez basses, but the Yamaha its best Dfine provides comfort and well supprieur its rivals.
  
  
  
  It is rare to come across tools that are worth twice the price they cotent, but the this is the case. One could say that the investissment is reasonable and even profitable.
  
  
  
  With exprience, I made that choice. This is not my Premire low and I still have on hand MODELS said to be more prestigious. The Yamaha is now my bass every day. Patant instrument.

  mominette69's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Dj says everything is!

  Utilization

  The handle is extra enjoyable, it's easy to play on!
  
  CHAC is also acute for extra easy, but the strings frizent soon! She is not heavy but trs even when PSE! In terms of sound, it's easy to quickly find and rgler sound we need.
  
  To return to the ergonomics of this bass, playing it is not that positive. Indeed, it is rgler low (usually the vendor you made) because the strings tend frizer and snap when you play a little harder than usual. So the strings are quite spaces of the neck which may disturb some.

  Sounds

  The lack of power, are more serious than acute accentus!
  
  It lacks punch is indniable. Registration (for me at home studio), I had that problem! Frquences big bass, treble almost inaudible, so variations between low / high and large enough trsdrangeantes.
  
  But otherwise the sound is good in gnral

  Overall Opinion

  This bass is extremely pretty, she has the face !!!!!!
  
  I advise to beginners because it will be perfect for them. Games easy, good sound, not too CHRE ... But for those who have more of experience, I say NO!
  
  I bought it second-lowest believer to make a good purchase and I'm quite over. On the court I loved the sound and then I'm fast lass trs. I am a spar for G & L Tribute L2000 sending normment.
  
  For bassists who have more exprience economy and pass your way, but beginners dark !!!!!!
