RB-414CS Classic Series : Good "for the money"

Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting buying a bass at this price point but this is what I have noticed.

Pros:

-Sounds unique

-looks great

-Made of solid mahogany

Cons:

-The bridge is confusing at best

-Frets had to be leveled the day the bass arrived

-The overall feel falls short compared to other brands around the same price range.

In all, have I spent more and gotten less in a bass? Absolutely. Would I say this bass is objectively good? Maybe. Depending on what you want in an instrument, this could be a very interesting mod project but I would not buy this if you are looking for something you can pick up and play.

It will take work (and a lot of it!) to keep up with brands like Squier. What this bass does offer however is something truly unique and a true blank canvas for creating something that is truly your own. Would recommend it as a project but not as your only bass!
