1436.0. "Yamaha RBX 200 F bass guitar review needed" by AZUR::DOTTI (Ernesto Dotti - IS ADG @VBO) Tue Aug 22 1989 12:33

    I'm thinking of getting a low end frettless bass guitar for recording
    bass lines as rithmic background section for my own amusement in
    putting together jazz standards (plugging it directly into a Fostex 260
    four track cassette recorder).  
    Does anybody know anything or has any first hand impressions about the
    Yamaha RBX 200 F (available here in Italy for about US$ 215) or has any
    opinion for the use I want to make out of it?
    
    Thanks, E.

    Yamaha basses I've tried in general seem to be well made and sound
    good.  At that price, you should be doing well.  Is that a new price
    or used?  You couldn't touch a decent fretless here in the US for
    $200.

1436.2JUST SAY YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAMER::KRONKA-BOOMWed Aug 23 1989 14:455
    Yep- YAMAHA definitely makes a good bass. I've played a few and
    all were better far better than average......I'm still in love w/
    IBANEZ though; nothing else will do it in my book
