Value For Money :
Excellent
The beast was manufactured in China, it is aulne.Elle has 2 humbucker pickups active, a équaliqation two bands (bass & treble), a knob for the micro scale and one for the gain of the bass, which can be more interesting, however, that if a volume is not very accurate
Channel 24 frets 34 "and screwed. Bourin screwed to the side, moreover, what it looks like a bit of a duplos Alas ... no selector active / passive, only available at her older sister (rbx 675) for 300 euros more.
6 ==> because no passive switch and not a three-band EQ equalizer last two strips works great.
At the head of the bass, yamaha super deco that called "3D head," pesronnellement I do not like it gives a toy to look low, but what is annoying is that it does not very well and it deteriorates quickly ("yellow" and falls off)
In terms of food, a small door with the battery, so far so good just the pickups are greedy, I change the battery every month (well until I have a battery) and every time I change the battery I'm afraid to snatch a thread, so I am always very careful.
UTILIZATION
The handle is quite nice, access to acute is EXCELLENT. It is a relatively flat run, "modern", but the finishing end of the handle makes it a little square. The point of the handle is black paint on the back! It sticks! Unbelievable speed and crashed The paint on the back of the head is not the same as on the handle, I wonder what he wanted? Finally since the defect was corrected painting changed (the knob has changed too, are a little more silver mtnt).
The bass is relatively light, which is nice for a 5 string.
When sitting, it tends to back a bit leg ds has my taste, the concavity being a little too close
To find a sound, it's childish, thanks to active pickups and potentiometers "could not be more classic." The major difference between models rbx270 and 170 are just below the pickups and electronics, which I think are the strong point of this bass. In terms of microphones, I find the space a little tight between them, between the handle too, unlike fender. Which requires a tape or thumb slap limits on the sidelines.
If I continue my descent, here we are at the bridge, with its original design. Well, it's no more! I have to change strings frequently because the bridge damage my rope, and she consistently breaks in one place.
Moreover, even when done in a luthier set, all harmonics were just curled ropes course, but something not allowed!
SOUNDS
As it was my first bass I had some versatility and I can not just happier. However it releases its always aggressive enough that I love, with few rounded almost metallic. Also I find that it still retains a sound all its own, separate it nicely. It made for more modern music. In the sound of this bass, I miss him still and sustain the sub-bass, which I find somewhat lacking. This is without the finishing.
We feel that this is just a 4-string bass which we added a 5th string savagely also the sound of that chord sounds rough, it lacks precision. It is difficult to attack the 5th string to put some punch or slap hands. While on the other strings, I enjoy playing by jumping on the strings ^ ^.
Other than that, we just play nicely fingers, plectrum or slap.
OVERALL OPINION
It is now two that I play hard with this bass, I almost feel that it is part of me, I always do what I want with, depending on what I want to play. She just caught the eye when I bought it compared to other models I found banal. It comes in three colors to the point: silver (not gray because if not the vendors do not understand Musikstore) red and black ...
I'm not really careful, or prudent with my bass, it was already I do not know how suddenly it's rock'n'roll ^ ^. but the paint is fragile even in the body just because of my major when I rub the paint is damaged slapper! And by the way beneath the silver is red ...
I'm really happy with my choice even if there is a lot of small problems, I love it, it's really a bass I wanted. I just bought the same model but with 4 strings if I had to change something and still not mm.
The value for money is good, I've never had real problems with only small things with little interest. (Thank you to trim the little Chinese as greyhound for us).
