Yamaha RBX-170

Think this is the rbx 170 - 150 quid.
Basic features, 2 stock pickups P/J.
I play this thru a marhshall valvestate 40w guitar combo cause i'm stupid and don't have a bass amp.
I think the body was made of some light wood, possibly agathis, but it could be that new luthite stuff.

The pickups are great. I like to play hard with a 3mm stubby. Bass - 10 - treble - 10 - mid - 1 yet no However no matter how much i fiddle with the EQ i can't seem to get a bassy feel. Its loud tho. lol lol

The set up was great. It buzzes a lot but i think its the way i play lol lol.
Why bother adjusting stuff. It should be left how it was. I like my basses 'au naturelle

I've gigged with it numerous times, including once when i begged the music shop to let me borrow it, coz i didn;t have a bass at the time. lol lol

I haven't had to contact them yet cause my bass is so good

i've been playing bass about 6 months now and i think i'm fully qualified to give my opinion on this fine guitar.
buy it
be like me

2002 Yamaha RBX170 Made in Indonesia 24 frets 4 srting maple neck ( i beleive one piece) rosewood fretboard one volume two tone controls i beleive that the pickups are stock yamaha, one precision and one jazz, im not quite sure what the body is made of, but it is pretty light, im guessing alder. It has a very attractive finish, dark metallic blue, it has a precision body with jass neck, and it is very fast to play on 34" scale very attractive color

I love metal(metallica iron maiden ozzy megadeth) and funk/punk (red hot chili peppers) and this guitar has a great variety of sounds. IT has a very very dark sound with the precision and a very very warm and smooth sound with the jazz pickup on. Slapping is extremely excellent with this guitar. The guitar resonants very much every time you play low notes. I love the fast neck and feel, it is very light and you could play forever with it, just make sure your strap is comfortable.I love the sound period. I really love the way flea plays and this guitar can mimic it with no problem whatsoever

My bass was set up PERFECT. It was in tone the action was perfect. My only complaints were the following: 1. The stupid people at the factory had scratched my guitar 2. The stupid people at the factor missed painting some spots by my pickups 3. The stupid people at Yamaha decided to put black plastic controls with a metallic blue... this personally looks like shit. However those complaints are very minor details, im quite anal about my hobbies. Anyway.. the metallic blue color is extremely extremely awesome. I also have seen the candy apple red and black and i must applaud Yamaha for such fine jobs on the paint. I have no fret buzz whatsoever.

Ive played several gigs and it has withstood everyone of them, basically you could kiss a back up good bye because you wouldnt need one. The strap buttons are extremely solid. The finish has withstood much abuse from my younger brother who just recently "hit" my guitar with his acoustic. However it did not leave a scratch whatsoever. This guitar is built like a tank and its not going anywhere soon

I have never dealt with them, but i do have a warranty... i beleive its a year

THis guitar is GREAT!!! It has a beutiful finish, awesome sound, incredible slapping ability, and is a joy to own and play. I have been playing for 36 years and this is a very very good quality guitar for its price range. Ive played Fenders, Gibsons, Richenbackers, Ernie Balls, Squier, Ibanez, Washburns, Warwicks, and ESP's and this guitar is exceptional. I chose this guitar because i was very interested in adding a Yamaha to my collection and am overall surprised to see that Yamaha makes excellent guitars at excellent prices. YOU MUST BUY THIS GUITAR!!!!!
