THT Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Currently, I play an Epiphone Thunderbird IV but have a few problems with it: the balance, the look and the slightly broken bridge. I'm in a local band, and we gig semi regularly. Anyway, I was trawling the internet looking for an upgrade/replacement to my thunderbird and came across the Yamaha RBX4-A2. But I haven't found much out about if it, and its 'A.I.R' are any good. Anyone know anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Put the strap button on your thunderbird on one of the screws in the neck plate, apparently that should solve your balance issues. Or you could tie a brick to the bridge? Edited October 18, 2008 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THT Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Love it thanks! Now just have to find somewhere locally that stocks one or someone who owns one. Or tie a brick to my Thunderbird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Where is local? The shop in Lincoln has one on stock, it caught my eye yesterday! Its black too...! Yummie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've played a couple of these in stores & it seems to be a nice enough instrument. The lit-up pots are quite cool & EF didn't mention in the video that it has a slap ramp on the end of the board as well. I can't help thinking that it's overpriced, though. Look at the spec of the BB-614 which has an active preamp with 3-band eq & is usually around £100 cheaper. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yep spot on that Rich.....^ Wait 6 months for a newer model to come out and these will be discounted to that £100 cheaper price tag and then they will be a good buy I reckon....

THT Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Local for me would be Norwich. Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look at the BB-614. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
