RBX Bridge(RBX374/375)

The heavy diecast bridge transmits string 
vibrations directly to the body. With 
it’s special design, changing strings is 
simply a matter of hooking the ball-end 
of the string into the bridge, making the 
operation quicker and easier than on 
conventional bridges.

Double Coil Pickups
 (RBX374/375)

The humbucking pickups feature large 
diameter polepieces to product thick low-
end tone. Pickup covers feature built-in 
fi nger rests.

RBX Body

The deeply contoured bodylines make 
for a clean, modern look and provide 
bassists with a better fi tting  instrument 
for greater comfort.

RBX Electronics

The 4-control circuit includes controls for 
Master Volume, Balance, and a 2-band 
equalizer for creating a more aggressive tone.
