The most affordable of Yamaha basses, the RBX170 is a high quality beginner instrument. The 24-fret neck and PJ-style pickups make this axe especially versatile.

We have also found that this is a great option for any musician who does a bit of home recording and needs a well-priced bass for demos.

Perhaps the best reason for choosing the RBX170 is Yamaha's unparalleled reputation for excellence in student-level instruments. It is the high degree of reliability and consistency in these basses that make them practically walk out the door.

So, what does RBX stand for? Really Bloody Xcellent!
