Yamaha RBX4-A2

[THT]

Currently, I play an Epiphone Thunderbird IV but have a few problems with it: the balance, the look and the slightly broken bridge.

I'm in a local band, and we gig semi regularly.

Anyway, I was trawling the internet looking for an upgrade/replacement to my thunderbird and came across the Yamaha RBX4-A2. But I haven't found much out about if it, and its 'A.I.R' are any good.

Anyone know anything?

Put the strap button on your thunderbird on one of the screws in the neck plate, apparently that should solve your balance issues. Or you could tie a brick to the bridge?

It's a shame he only knows one song

Love it thanks!

Now just have to find somewhere locally that stocks one or someone who owns one.

Or tie a brick to my Thunderbird...

Where is local?

The shop in Lincoln has one on stock, it caught my eye yesterday!

Its black too...! Yummie!

I've played a couple of these in stores & it seems to be a nice enough instrument. The lit-up pots are quite cool & EF didn't mention in the video that it has a slap ramp on the end of the board as well. I can't help thinking that it's overpriced, though. Look at the spec of the BB-614 which has an active preamp with 3-band eq & is usually around £100 cheaper.

Rich.

Yep spot on that Rich.....^

Wait 6 months for a newer model to come out and these will be discounted to that £100 cheaper price tag and then they will be a good buy I reckon....

Local for me would be Norwich.

Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look at the BB-614.
