MGR/George « Yamaha RBX375 »
Published on 10/22/04 at 15:00I bought this from Guitar Center after the RBX775 I ordered from MusiciansFriend got dammaged during transit. I paid $360.00 it was a replacement for a Conklin GT5 which had been stolen.
It is light and well balanced the action is easy to adjust and holds intonation. It comes with passive ceramic humbuckers and a 2 band active eq which give a wide range of tone selection. The pickup selector is a rotary pot so you can select as much of or all of one pickup to dial in the perfect tone. The over value is Great I paid over $700 for the Conklin GT5 which was/is a great bass but for the money the Yamaha RBX375 is the way to go even for more experienced players.
Batteries---but an ac adapter would not be an option.
This bass is well made. The fit and finish is excellent. The hardware is quality stuff.
If you are looking for a 5 string this is the one to get, the price is right and the sound is booming.
