Great looking bass with some caveats
This bass looks amazing - that's the only amazing thing here. It's not bad but since this is not the cheapest available bass I've expected more. So I decided to buy that one over the pb-20 hoping that it'll be better to choose someting a bit more expensive and just start playing right away. Unfortunately I was wrong, it'd be better to buy the pb-20 and some decent pickups along with it for the price of the rb-414. Unfortunately the single coil jazz pickup here is just so noisy that I cannot for the love of God find any single place or orientation in my apartment where it'd not be buzzing so much that I've never in my entire life heard such noise coming from any device. I'm not entirely sure since I know close to nothing about the specifics when it comes to this field but for some newbies like me - it's not pleasant to use it unless you can find room that is 100% clean of any electrical devices or wiring. Some may say as I've seen that 'this buzz is charming and it's the most beautifull thing with these pickups' and okay, some may find it charming but for me and perhaps for many others it'll just seem as if it's just a broken unit and just like me they'd be frustrated over this noise. Sure I could return it and go buy something better - it's just my lazy choice not to bother myself with returns. In general tho if you're like me who would rather just get a nice clean sound out of their new toy - avoid this one.
