Machines Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'd put an RBX180 (2 pickups) in against the GSR200. Both decent basses but i'd opt for the Yamaha as I know from experience they're cheap but not poorly made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'd go for the yam too, built to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nice score! Can't go wrong with Ibanez. Is it one of the more recent ones with 4 knobs and active bass boost? They're great value, the electronics are simple but effective. The older passive ones are good too. And either way, at 40 Pounds you got one heck of a deal.

sutty86 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 No three knobs has additional five way over drive whatever that means???? Can't believe how much some lefty basses go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kongo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Both Yamaha and Ibanez punch above their weight even in the beginner area. I'd personally go more towards the Yamaha as they tend to last and are more robust than an Ibanez but then again, Ibanez basses are usually sleeker. That being said, both will play real well. My 1st bass was a Yamaha RBX170. I ran it to the ground but I tell ya, with the pickups and 24 frets it did anything a 4-string can do and then some.
