Yamaha RBX375 5-String Bass Guitar Black

This is an amazing bass for its price. The feel of the bass is magnificent, and is very versatile for all types of genres of music and also for all types of purposes. I've used it with gigging, recording work, jamming and a lot more and the bass stands up to the abuse. The only thing I'd have to say is that the magnetic pickups can produce popping sounds if you play to roughly or if the height of the pickups are too high. This can be adjusted easily with a smaller phillips screwdriver and adjusting the height to a lower setting. This will help to reduce the unpleasant sounds and you'll have a much more enjoyable time playing it as well. Overall, it has great versatility, it can go from sounding smooth, and soothing for swing/jazz, to a punchy/boomy sound for funk and R$B, or just a really trebley and natural sound which is amazing for rock.

This bass is a great buy for the price. It has a powerful, full sound that makes even my old amp sound good. The pick-ups are huge. It looks great and sounds as good or even better than my older Fender bass. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a great bass at a good price. This bass competes with the higher end, expensive basses.

This is an awsome bass for the price. I've had it since 2006. It is much easier to play than my Fender Jass Bass and has much deeper low end! With a little set up, it increased the ease of payability. The pots became scratchy but that was corrected with electrical contact cleaner. The pickups are so hot thta you have to be gentle with the strings or else you will get popping noises. The finish has started to chip but not badly. This is a bass I play exlusively (want to get rid of the fender jazz...hate it) until I find something better.

I bought this bass about three years ago. I was very happy with it initially, but after a year or so it started to get on my nerves. Two of the knobs fell off and the finish was chipping off. The equalizer didn't give much variety and the humbuckers caught a lot of ugly popping noises when i played it. However, the action is great for a cheaper bass. It also stayed in tune for weeks. Overall I think there are much better basses out there.

I own quite a collection of basses, and this Yamaha is in the top 3. It has great feel and tone. Never had any problems with it. I like this bass as much or more than ones I've paid 4 times as much for.

I bought this bass 4 years ago as the second bass I ever had, and it is a great bass. It has a great tone, a great feel, and it looks sweet. I especially like the thumb grooves built into the pickups. My only complaint is that the pickups are so beastly they run on batteries which need to be replaced every few days. If you can get past that, then you're set!
