Wouldja? (Yammy RBX170 content)
Local craigslister is selling what looks like a Yammy RBX170 for $75:
http://images.craigslist.org/3k43o73...48b6e617f5.jpg I have 4 basses, so I don't "need" another one. Sfaik these street at $179.99, MSRP: $279.99, so the used price is less than half street, which is my usual standard for a good deal. I don't have, and have never owned, a P/J, so I'm thinking this might be a neat addition to the stable. (Other basses are: Fender MIM Jazz, Squier MIJ P, Epi MIK T-Bird, and a Peavey USA Fury I.) I've never played a Yamaha bass, though I once owned a Yamaha electric guitar and currently own a Yammy 12-string acoustic, both of which were/are solid products. Are these RBX's MIC? If not, what country of origin? Any experiences good or bad? Heft? Neck? Pups? I know these are seen as starter basses at the bottom of the Yammy line. Wot say you, my brethren (and sistren)? |

That's about an average price of what they sell for used. I had RGX420 guitar and if I remember correctly it was made in Japan.
Not bad guitars... but if you don't need, I wouldn't buy it. Unless you want it, then get it. If you do pull the trigger, I'm sure you'll use it. :biggrin: |

My thoughts are-- I don't have a P-J, a couple people who've had this or the P-only (160) version have said they were decent, this has 2 full octaves (none of my other basses do), and lastly from what I see and read from others the look is modern unlike my existing basses, plus supposedly they are pretty light. So I may buy as an addition to the stable that I could bear to part with to give to my daughter. I've promised my son a guitar if he leanrs to play, but of my 4 current basses I have none I think I could part with to give to my daughter. This'un would solve that. :2thumbups: |

That's sounds like a very reasonable plan. I never played an Indonesia guitar, but from the Yamaha's that I played, they were all decent playing guitars... and gig worthy. Yamaha's brand in general are well recognized and have a good reputation. Plus like you said, at the very least, a decent guitar to learn with. :sweet:

My daughter ended up getting a Peavey USA Foundation bass instead. And I have since added a Peavey T-40 to my bass stable, so barring some miraculously cheap Ric coming my way, I'm pretty set for bass. |
