I have a couple older RBX's (one RBX260 and 260f), my only complaint is lack of shielding that can cause a little noise that goes away when you touch the strings or turn down the tone. I believe the newer models have the same problem. But that's a fairly cheap fix.
Great find! I love the RBX 170's!
Considering the price the build quality is amazing on them. I have one of the earlier rbx 170 models and it has been my main gigging bass for years. About 4 months ago I gutted the thing, shielded all the cavities, put in some bartolinis and bypassed the bridge Pup and tone knobs. Thing sounds amazing and I haven't had to adjust the neck once.
Good vibes

I think there was a medium scale. Something very 80s and gaudy. I could be wrong.
They made several. Off the top of my head :
- The water drop shaped SB-1
- The hollow SA series
- The notorious SB50
- The reversed SBV (i THINK it was medium scale, at least the vintage version)
- The super flashy 80s Motion B 32"
None currently made though.

these three are 32" scale
