MGR/Mike « Yamaha 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 finish is attractive, although the basic black color fogs up in use sometimes. (I would opt for a natural finish next time) It holds its tuning well.
A good "acoustic sounding" electric bass. I could have done better on the price. Highly recommended for a beginner. I appreciate the lefty option.
