Feature:
It's special feature is its weight. It's very lite. I play gigs that run 4 hours a night and my back is very thankful. The pickups are passive, so I don't have to worry about a battery. The front and back volume controls are lighted so you can add a 9 volt battery to turn on these two lights. The tone control isn't lighted so I prefer not to use this feature. I wish all the lights were wired up.
Quality:
The guitar is well made, and the finish is great. I've only had this guitar for a couple months and so far so good. I've had other yamaha guitars and basses before and I trust the Yamaha name. I expect it last many years of service.
Value:
Great Price I've paid 3 times the amount on my now backup bass guitar.
Desirability:
It very attractive and the main reason I tried it. It's just a sexy looking and sounding Guitar. It's like walking around with a Hot Girl on your arm.
Sound:
The Look of the Guitar called my attention. The first time I tried this Bass, was with a little amp. I wasn't impressed. I was limited on time and didn't have time to play it through other amps. The next time in the music, store I tried it through a Ampeg with 4 10's and thought Wow! So I plugged it into a Fender amp with a 15" speaker and still loved it. The orginal strings sounded fine but after I bought it, I changed it to Elixirs, and now it is my Main Guitar to perform with. I run it though my Fender with 2 10's, love it. I get compliments all the time on the sound and look. I've been a weekend warrior for 30 years. I switched to the Bass Guitar a couple of years ago. I love to play a clean bright Bass. I've always hated playing with bassist that plays a muffled sounding Bass guitar.
Ease of Use:
I run the controls wide open for Rock and Country and roll back the back pickup for a funk sound.
Support:
Never had to deal with the company, and I'm not the kind of guy that modifies my equipment. I don't feel this Bass needs to be modified. So I'll have to give them a 10
Overall:
I might sell my backup guitar and pick up a second Yamaha RBX A2 while the price is this hot. If it were stolen, I'd diffently buy another, but that's not going to happen because she never leaves my sight.
