I had a friend over jamming today, and I decided to pull out my Yamaha RBX374 that is currently strung with flatwounds (since we were jamming out some softer-sounding tunes, so I thought the flats might sound good).

OMG! The RBX with flats is a tone monster! I had the pickup balance set to middle with the bridge pickup boosted really close to the strings and the neck pickup drilled into the neck a bit (kinda how some jazzs are set). The tone is deep and punchy and really nice and warm.

Ignore the guitar work (my friend is still in training, especially at improvising :P), but my RBX sounds damn awesome! :)

I need more Yamaha basses!
 
This is the TRB 6 that I got hold of yesterday. Can one of you Yamaha gurus tell me the official name of its color?

The neck needs some tweaking, but I hope that it will become as playable as my old BB 5000. I think that the BB 5000 neck had the lowest action without buzz that I ever experienced. Still it had to go because of the narrow string spacing.
