    Not sure they know what a hoagie in England but I did tell Les for the kebab guide :)

    Well...owning six and playing just one seems to make no sense either...

    Having the choice is nice. It's like your local takeaway only having the one dish you usually order. Sometimes you want a hoagie instead of a calzone.


    Hungry now..

    a good review by Ed Friedland :)

    Are the pickups passive/active or is the battery purely in there for the flashy bling lights?

    I must say, as a lightweight gigging bass it could be pretty cool. I didn't start this thread to generate more GAS.... :blink:

    The battery is purely for the knob lights. Gotta love knob lights...


    Pickups are passive :)

    Oooo, those RBX4 A2's look really interesting.

    Not sure about the flashy lights, but I feel I may have to investigate more.. goddamit, I shouldn't have started this thread...

    You can take the battery out the bass at the back so the lights don't come on. The pickups are passive. :) I regret selling mine to be honest.

  6. The next revolution in evolution. The conventional wisdom in building electric guitars has long been that the more uniform and heavy the material, the better the sound. Yamaha has shattered this concept with an advanced technology called Alternative Internal Resonance, or A.I.R. for short. A.I.R. combines lightweight and resonant softwoods sandwiched between harder tonewoods creating an instrument loaded with sustain and tone while maintaining an ultra lightweight construction. Already proven in the RGX line,Yamaha now offers this sustain and tone in the RBX line with the RBX4 A2.

  7. My Yamaha RBX A2 was incredibly light. Not sure if it was chambered or that. Will double check

    EDIT: There was one second hand at Bass Direct claiming it to be 7lbs

    I had a very similar 7 band smx version. 1x15. 300w version.

    Was the loudest 200w at 8ohm combo I've heard. When paired with another 1x15 to get the full 300w it was the loudest 300w I've ever heard. At the time I had or recently had a few 500w heads which were not as loud imo. Abm evo 3 500w. Aguilar ag 500. And some other 500w head I can't remember.

    The fan was noisy and it blown enough cold air out the front that it annoyed me.
    I didn't actually like the tone either. Although I heard others sound great through it.
    Was very reliable.
    Was very heavy.
    One of the few combos I've owned that didn't have some sort of odd rattling etc.
    Wish I never sold it tbh!

    If its in good working order buy it. I'm sure these are going to be future classics especially if you can find one in good cosmetic condition.

    Price wise £100-150 if tatty. £150 - 250 if in better or mint condition.
    Mine was in average condition I paid £150.

    Thanks Twincam for the advice. It's up for £175 and seems not bad nick. Has a cover too which is a bonus.
