Three New Yamaha RBX Basses Introduced at NAMM

RBXJM2

RBX374

Winter NAMM 2004 provides the launching pad for three new RBX models: The four-string RBX374 (MSRP $529.99), five-string RBX375 (MSRP $599.99) and the 6-string John Myung signature model, the RBXJM2 (MSRP $1,649.99).

Each bass features a Alder body, a bolt-on Maple 24 fret neck with a 34"-scale Rosewood fingerboard, a muscular, contoured double-cutaway body and a 3-D headstock design that's sure to make everyone take notice.

Black hardware and sharp styling complete the 21st Century look. The signature RBXJM2 model features a 3-piece Maple neck, oval Abalone position markers and a choice between Inca Silver or Plum Pearl Metallic finishes. Named for Dream Theater bassist John Myung, the RBXJM2 delivers distinctive tone, thanks to a custom Seymour Duncan SMB-6a pickup and a high-octane active preamp that features a three-band EQ.

The RBX374 and RBX375 offer similar features, but each sports two newly designed, high-output ceramic hum-canceling pickups that can beef up any rig. With two-band EQ, master volume and a pickup-blending pan pot, the active preamp can dial in powerhouse tone with lethal precision. Finishes include Flat Silver, Red Metallic, and Black. New, edgy pickup covers round out the look.
