Which bass guitar should i buy ?

  • i have been interested in bass guitars now and am looking forward to buy one i went to 2 music instrument stores one had a yamaha for 260 $ the other one a had a brand called Chinese "sunrise" for 200 $ i tried sunrise bass and it sounded good couldnt try the yamaha because the store didnt have a bass amp so now if i buy the yamaha i have to wait 1 more month to buy the amp but if i buy the sunrise i can buy the amp too and am a beginner so which one to go for ?? -thanks

  • Answer:

    Yamaha RBX170 was made in Indonesia, has 24 frets and a solid top. Includes Master Volume, Master Tone and Pickup Fader for the P/J pickup config. The pickups aren't as good as the mexican fenders but they do the job well. This model doesn't include active electronics but the 270 which is only about £50 more does. The body is made from agathis which is mega light so this bass is great for long shows, the neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard. On this bass there are only 3 finishes (metallic blue,metallic red and metallic black), I've got the metallic blue which I think is the best of the 3. The hardware is unbranded but from what I've seen it could withstand a nuclear war. The neck is FANTASTIC, it is 40mm at the nut so it's thicker than jazz but more slimline than P-Bass which is great!!!

Go to all of the stores in your area and try as many as possible. Sunrise is a very inexpensive (cheap) brand. The Yamaha is a better choice.
