My New Yamaha RBX5A2 5-string

From what I can tell, the 5ers came out in europe when the 4's came out here. I like it!!! Looking forward to playing one.

I think you will enjoy it. I just removed the Hi-Beams from mine because I was having issues with the B-string (I believe they shipped an extra long in a regular length pack) and put on some Pro-Steels. Sounds great with either set.
 
I agree with the comment that theres something the rbx375 isn't all 'there',... very loud and nice pickups that I like but since I bought the Ibanez K5 earlier this year,... I haven't touched the 375... probably just personal feeling that the K5 is easier to play and better fitting for me...

tho sometimes I miss the loudness of those pickups... I got told to turn down on my xmas gig last year, previous bassist obviously didn't have much output compared to what my bass levels were putting out :D
