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.

Feature:
I don't know what sort of features this guitar has that other bass guitars don't have, but you can get a few different sounds out of it. It is very, very light weight. My Telecasters feel heavier actually, although it may be an illusion.

Quality:
Like all Yamaha products (I have two 35 year old Yamaha acoustics that still play perfectly), it is of the highest quality.

Value:
Probably the best deal on the planet for a quality bass.

Desirability:
Very interesting looking guitar. I have the white/grey which is really striking.

Sound:
Granted, I only play guitar and this bass was bought for others to play when we have jams at the house, but in my jam room with a 100 watt Fender bass amp, it sounds good to me. I have messed around with Fender bass guitars (I own Telecasters) and I can't say I can tell much difference in sound with the same amp.

Ease of Use:
Plugs right into my Fender Rumble 100 bass amp.

Support:
Yamaha has always been great to me.

Overall:
This is the only bass I'll ever buy. I don't play bass, just fool around.
