A long-term design project by Yamaha’s bass craftsmen has resulted in this fabulous new, keenly priced RBX five-string bass. With a solid alder body contoured for maximum comfort, playability and visual impact, the instrument features an extended 35”-scale, two octave neck, delivering a superbly resonant, long-sustaining sound and allowing players to exploit their technique to the full.

Versatile powering comes from two gain-laden humbuckers, supported by an active system which includes a pickup mix control and two-band EQ for a truly extensive palette of high-quality tonal settings.
