RBX is Yamaha`s line for the bass players on a tight budget. It`s models are affordable, solid and very reliable. RBX basses come somewhere in between the classic Fender/Gibson style and the hyper modern Ibanez/Jackson creations, settling in what could be dubbed the conservative modern school of design. RBX270J is one of it`s most popular and most successful models. It comes with a series standard alder body with a double cutaway and flat top. Bridge section is fit with a regular four-saddled hardtail bridge with chrome plating. In front of it, Yamaha installs a pair of passive pickups in J/P arrangement. Separate volume knobs act as pickup selectors and master tone completes the controls. Fairly slim maple neck is topped with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard.

Had this bass for a number of years without realising its potential. In its stock form, it is unremarkable. However, it is cheap, and customisable. Tried many pickup changes, but it was still a little dull even with a) Wizard Thumper P - no longer available b) DiMarzio Ultra Jazz J c) TI flats What made the difference was a bridge change to something more substantial. I my case, I had an old style Warwick Rockbass bridge lying about. The change was huge and - THIS IS SIGNIFICANT - there is no infamous dead spot on the G string at all. Conclusion: it is a fundamentally good bass once the bridge has been replaced.
