Review Yamaha RBX550R
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 7.5.2004




I got my bass from a friend it was never released in america and my friend was a GI and brough it back from Japan we could never find it over the net in an english site but we found it on a Japanese site and the price was roughly $650 in USD

 
 
  Features  
 
It is very heavy but what good quility bass isnt, Weak points would have to be the input it comes loose and i lose connection to my amp, it has the Jazz and Percusion pickups one bad thing is were the trust rod ajustment is (bottom of the neck hard to reach)
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Compared with my Fender it wails over it i think this bass will be with me along long time i can hit every note with no fret buzz unless i didnt hold the note right
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Like i said i love to play it the sounds is great it just has that stupid problem with the input to the amp it dosnt have many weak points in my opinion.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
It dosnt come untuned as much as my Fender does but it handles very good it is one of the only basses i have owned with such a good neck to play with
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I love this bass it wails i give it a 5 out of 5 the only bass i would ever replace for this one is a Richenbacker (sorry bout spelling)
