Hardy GamingWhat a steal of a deal
Published on 04/22/23 at 16:39I bought this bass for $10 in high school off a buddy who wanted to get rid of it, it rarely looses tune and sounds pretty darn good after about a month or so the original pickups died though I quickly swapped them out with some Seymour Duncan’s, it has a very nice blue metal flake paint job in which I covered about 30% with stickers and dents from playing so often, I’ve played bass guitars worth $1000 more than this and been less impressed

Published on 01/18/03 at 15:00Bought this bass off one of my friends, for 350 bucks and that came with strap and and a Trace Elliot Boxer 15 amp. This is used.
This bass is great. It's got a nice green finish and a pretty good neck. Not really fast, but good for beginners.
The action is a bit high but that can be fixed. And I wish the pickups were two single coils instead of one split.
I had to get the head stock repaired because of cracks by the tuners, but that was not from the factory errors, it was because the other person who had it didn't take very good care. Oh well it only costed me 40 bucks.
Very sturdy and very light. Not a lot of sustain but like I said good for beginners and good for the price.

Get this bass if you are beginning or advanced. It's great, not heavy and very comfortable sitting or standing.

MGR/MikeYamaha RBX 260L
Published on 02/25/02 at 15:00Purchased at Side's music in Williamsport as part of a "beginner's combo" package. Separately priced around $230. It was a 2000 Christmas purchase.
With the tone control "off" it has a very mellow, somewhat flat (which I like) sound.
Although simple in design the guitar is solidly constructed, has no blemishes, and plays cleanly. It tunes easily and keeps its tune despite hard use.
The tone control when turned up only adds unwanted string noise and/or feedback or other distortion. I play every weekend and have never used the tone feature.
I would rate the construction and quality of the unit as excellent. No dings, scratches, filings, or any manufacturer's marks of any kind. the...…

A good "acoustic sounding" electric bass. I could have done better on the price. Highly recommended for a beginner. I appreciate the lefty option.

MGR/AnonymousYamaha RBX 260
Published on 02/23/02 at 15:00I purchased my yamaha bass from the local music hardware store in muscat oman. i acquired this bass because it was a comfy hold and all my firnds have elctric guitars so i thought it would be useful to have a bass around. i paid 95 rials. which is about $350.
I enjoy its comfy position when sitting and its sound quality is superb. When standing the bass sits nicely and is easy nad quick to play.
i dislike the long "arm" at the top end of the body.
the construction is very good, with 25 frets and an unusaly shaped bbody the quality is also very good.
overall the yamaha RBX 260 series electric bass is a thoroughly enjoyable instrument to play.
