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. 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. Ease of Use: Plugs right into my Fender Rumble 100 bass amp. 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. Manufacturer Support: Yamaha has always been great to me. The Wow Factor: Very interesting looking guitar. I have the white/grey which is really striking. Overall: This is the only bass I'll ever buy. I don't play bass, just fool around.

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. 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. Ease of Use: I run the controls wide open for Rock and Country and roll back the back pickup for a funk sound. 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. Manufacturer 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 The Wow Factor: 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. 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.
