Description

The RBX5A2 is a 5-string version of the RBX4A2. This bass delivers clear, powerful, and rich tone all the way down to its low open B. Its wide sound range and outstanding playability defy the common concepts of previous 5-string designs, and open the door to a whole new range of playing possibilities. *A.I.R. Body *A.I.R.
