5.0 out of 5 stars Great Budget Bass Guitar, August 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Yamaha RBX170 Bass Old Violin Sunburst
First of all, a disclaimer - I am just a beginner and just wanted something affordable that I could learn with. That said, I bought this bass guitar based on the many reviews I read on Amazon as well as other sites. To be quite frank, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this item, but was presently surprised at the appearance and quality when I opened the package. This item looks and feels like it should cost more than it actually does.

As far as playability, this guitar feels very comfortable with a thinner neck than what I've played on other basses. To me, that's a plus as I feel I could move up and down the fretboard with relative ease. Sound is very good, and a nice feature is that it has one P and one J pickup to help you customize the sound you want. Overall, this is a very good bass guitar and would recommend it to anyone.

Only one caveat - change the strings when you receive it, as the stock strings the guitar is shipped with are not that great. Other... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Price is Right, May 11, 2012

I have played guitar for many years, but when I wanted a bass guitar I was a little weary of buying some imitation brand or poor quality model given the small budget I had.
When I read that this is as cheap as Yamaha gets and that they wouldn't compromise their solid reputation by making a throw-away, I sensed this was the one.
It met my budget at the same time as being ideal for my beginner's status; it is lightweight and slim with a fret-board worthy of Goldilock's refined tastes: not too wide, not too narrow.
The machine heads have a nice feel for easy and accurate tuning and the shape of the body fits snuggly into your lap.
A treat for the modest beginner.
