I have SOLDa WONFERFUL 1991 or 1992 Yamaha RBX5. This is not like the new RBX series. Here's what I know:
All original,
EMG made P/J pick-ups - passive
Gotoh made bridge with saddle locks and adjustable string spacing
Gotoh made tuners
THE BEST NECK EVER!!!!  I am asking $265 $255 shipped in the original hardshell case (only minor scuffs on case, no cracks). This is a great deal for a real solid bass that plays so well, it doesn't feel like a 5 string!!

More pics of my number one bass for 18 years. It's time to finally move on and get some GAS:

I've seen this priced all over the place. What's it worth in sale or trade?
This has been and still is an awesome player with the build quality I have not seen on new basses at my local stores.
What do you think??? $280? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Granby, Quebec | | Very interesting bass! Too bad that the only four strings I'm still owned are not really good :
- Vantage Avenger X-77 1984 with old Dimarzio precision
- Sanox MIJ 7?-8?, two sets of precision, hand varnish, nice sound, push/pull volume for parallell/serie, etc.
- Quest Atak 2B, gotoh keys, gotoh precision pickups
- Odyssey from Attila Balogh (first owner made some big scratch (not sure of the exact word because I use to speak french) on the fretboard, Badass, Schaller, Dimarzio

I was told that this might not be as "pro" as I thought. This bass was made in Taiwan. Sorry about that.

What's the string spacing @ the bridge, and neck width @ the nut?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Hudson Valley, NY | | | I measured the string spacing at approximately 17mm at the bridge. Remember that the string spacing is adjustable, too.
The nut is 1 7/8"
I hope that helps! |
