Yamaha RBX375?

[Modern_Myth]

Hey everyone,

Recently i was thinking of switching from my 4 string to a five string, and i stumbled across this bass.
I went into my local guitar centre and tried one out and i loved it, but i just wanted other opinions from others on here.
Basically have you ever owned/played this bass and what was your opinion on it?
Also is it true that the B-string is always faulty? :/

Thanks for all responses!

That bass is very popular in my country. It's a good instrument, well built and with a decent tone, but I'm one of those who think that its B string feels very flabby. A good low-budget instrument, anyway.

It's a shame for Yamaha. Before that bass, RBX basses were good quality. That one only shows how the brand has dismissed QA in their cheapest brands.

If you want an RBX I'd recommend the older RBX775 or the RBX A something (the futuristic looking one)
