What have we here?
It is therefore an active bass Yamaha Taiwan Series RBX, 24 frets juxtaposed on a long handle screw four screws. Beautiful table covered with a kind of emerald green wash polish. Very very nice ^ ^
For the rest, please see the other view, already very accurate.

UTILIZATION

The long handle is not very thick, allowing good speed in the game, but the most important on this bass is that it is fully exploited, thanks to access to acute really ideal, something really appreciable for someone who wants to play a sound type Joy Division where it is common to play G-19 for example. Otherwise the coating of the handle does not catch your hands so that happiness at this level.

In terms of ergonomics, this bass is for me light and well designed, in fact it does not sting the head, and compared to my other bass, a Yamaha BB, weight is a relief, when I notte spend my after noon to play.

Both microphones offer a broad enough range of the preamps can more or less his own inks, making it versatile in virtually every type of rock. The sound is usually a little metal, which gives, in my view, a certain charm.

Contrairemennt that I read on the net, I can not find it at all impersonal, this Rbx a little trick that makes it unique ^ ^

The preamp not necessarily require heavy knowledge, but requires all the same, a slight time to "study" for those seeking a particular sound.

One little thing bothered me, however when the first week, when you play with a pick near the bridge, it is possible to touch the volume knob, which is very sensitive and runs at full speed ^ ^ After this little consideration taken , RAS.

SOUNDS

This low for its versatility is perfect for what I want, but it is also true (as long as you play the mediator) that its a little metal quickly become annoying for any newcomer not knowing properly adjust the preamp " machine ". Finger sound is round and well defined.

Otherwise, I can just about a deal with, whether the New / Cold Wave, alternative rock ... Even the raggae lol. Seriously, no worries, it's really a nice choice.

I play on an H & K Basskick200 Magicstomp and Eb, and I find that pushing a little low, by reducing a chouillat the medium and by the treble on a neutral position, all under a powdery Stereo Chorus. .. yum yum

OVERALL OPINION

I bought used for 300 euro a fly there just under two months.
Pretty fun to play and does not weigh much, I am fully satisfied. An incredible value for money.
It combines perfectly with my passive bass, which sounds when even deeper, but less singing in the treble. So in the choice, I can not say this choice again with closed eyes to the extent that I am already fully satisfied, but quit to change, quit to pick a more upscale ... Is there a more upscale RBX?

Objectively this good deserves a nice little low 8 / 10, thanks to its many qualities and versatility in the game if I Devaya After the subjective score, I will probably be more ^
