This is good, features are the official site and I have no idea where it was built, I apologize.
UTILIZATION
The RBX 170 is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable of all to play for low budget. The handle slides well and access to acute is just perfect (and this just gives it a special character). It is perfectly balanced.
The only downside: the strings of origin. It makes you wonder why they are so bad they are qualitée! On the contrary, Change and you will sound just great. the slightest touch on the faders means and changes the sound completely.
SOUNDS
This low (remember to change the strings!) Is simply off-road. The quality of the microphones is felt as the difference between two means setting: a sound very fat and heavy for the big rock, a sound very clear to the slap and the ultra clear for walking.
The harmonics come out very well all the way (provided the well have settled anyway)
I tested it on a very old amp (Vox seems to me there, but I could be wrong) but I played on an amp 'homemade'.
I also use a pedal Zoom 808-II and even large distortion the sound is perfect.
OVERALL OPINION
I play the Rbx170 for 1 year and after testing many others in the same low price range (Ibanez, Stagg and other brands whose name makes no mention of quality), I conclude that is the 'leader' of the genre. I had a scare in the long run with its unbearable string backgrounds but this problem is quickly solved by changing the game I was hooked at this low DNAS store with its very sound a Rock Once set on the grave. Also his physique is simply beautiful and has a character.
Its price / quality ratio is exceptional at this level and supasse many other brands.
If I had to choose again I would not hesitate, but I would think to change my strings sooner rather than torture me by telling me that the pickups are zero (what I could be stupid).
