Hall of Fame: Yamaha RBX200 Bass Guitar in Gloss Black

Vincent Barras

The Yamaha RBX200 Bass Guitar is a late 1980s to early 1990s classic, recognised for its sleek double-cutaway body, lightweight alder construction, and comfortable playability. Designed with a P-style split pickup and straightforward controls, it delivers a punchy, balanced tone that suits a wide range of styles. Favoured by many beginner and intermediate players, the RBX200 helped define Yamaha’s legacy for reliable, affordable instruments that perform far beyond their price bracket.
