I bought this bass after careful consideration and testing hands, and I'm not disappointed at all! A magnificent low, complete and powerful, with a nice finish and a beautiful design to avoid waste anything!
Only one default attention to delicately manipulate the wood of the body is very tender and it crashed (very) easily ... Other than that, nothing to say!

UTILIZATION

I use this bass to play metal, mainly speed and melodic.
The RBX775 has a handle for that fabulous, very responsive and to obtain a precise sound with a touch stronger agrébale. Although it is large enough, access to acute is very easy.
Be careful if you have a style of play fast like mine, a pitch of 889mm, it's not nothing when it comes to playing fast sequences in the low, where the gap between frets is the greatest!
Ergonomics issue is still one of the reasons for my choice, RBX is stable and will not ruin you back, it is very light compared to other basses in its class!

SOUNDS

While there, the RBX775 is very adaptable to all styles of music and gaming, and the micro switch is a real plus compared to 4-5 with a bass control buttons! Personally, I use it to position neck pickup and bridge normal, which delivers a good offense and a powerful sound, and I alternate the two other positions for solos, tapping ...
Question her, nothing to say, the RBX a punch!

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost a year, and I have not made this choice lightly, I have tried many other basses (Fender, ESP / Ltd, Ibanez, Cort Curbow and Traben) before buying a RBX775. What I liked: the handle of high quality that provides a smooth game, accurate and pleasant sound (I would never in a passive electronic!), And ergonomics! Not to mention the devastating look (I in silver, too good!):-D

No, except that body which sinks a little too easy, nothing to say, this bass is a real monster, pleasure in its purest form!

Be careful price issue: where I found this bass, it made me believe in the super promotion: € 800 instead of 1000 ... Internet (German site), I found it to ... € 640! I spoke to another dealer and offering to support this site, I got it at 650 €, which is still cheaper than if I had ordered over the Internet costs + port! COMPARE PRICES and therefore do not hesitate to negotiate, it pays!
