MGR/MHXANHMA « Yamaha RBX 270 »
Published on 10/27/02 at 15:00I bought this bass guitar because i needed a bass of my own, a quality guitar at an affordable price. I was previously using a YAMAHA BB200 bass which i had borrowed. It cost me 450 euros. I chose this specific bass after trying out some fenders, ibanez and yamahas and comparing their prices and features. I purchased it at a Phillipos Nakas store, which is the sole representative of yamaha in greece.
This bass has a very wide tonal range due to its pickups [this also depends on the amp you are using]. You can produve virtually any kind of sound you like, you can slap it [which i could not do with my BB200 too easily], pop it, thumb it. It is very very light, it has a very thin neck so people with small hands - like myself - can get the most of it. It has a great body shape, it looks great.
There is nothing i don't like about this guitar. But there's something i don't like about the way it was sold to me. They forgot to give me the warranty, i also lost the receipt, so now if anything happens, i can see my head up on a stick... But that has nothing to do with yamaha.
The body is made of alder, the neck is maple 35'' and 24 frets, the fretboard is made of rosewood. It has 2 pickups, one p [dual] and one j. The input jack is on the side, so id doesn't get in the way, plus it gets gripped in real tight, so there's no risk of it falling of while you're jamming. Mine has a mist green colour, it's realy funky. It is very sturdy. Once, my strap broke, and it fell off of my shoulder, but there was no damage.
I think this bass offers the best for this price range, after all this is the reason i bought it after comparing it to all those fenders.
