Description

The 4-string RBX374 features the same 3D headstock and radically contoured body shape as the John Myung signature bass. Loaded with a newly designed bridge, humbucking pickups and active electronics (that include two-band EQ), master volume and pickup pan pot, this bass delivers sonic versatility with a powerful tone.

Custom Pickups Twin humbucking pickups feature oversized pole pieces to produce a thicker low-end tone with increased bass response. The pickup covers feature built-in finger rests that are discrete and convenient.

RBX Bridge The heavy diecast bridge transmits string vibration directly to the body for enhanced sustain. Easy adjustability makes the perfect setup easy to achieve.

RBX Body The deeply contoured bodylines incredible comfort, easy access to high frets and stunning looks.

Active Electronics The 4-control active EQ system features Master Volume, Pickup Balance, and a 2-band equalizer for massive tonal variation.
