2012	$0.00	good	J. M. Bargas	Someone was throwing it out, into a garbage bin. I took it home. Cleaned the fret board. Body was covered with chewing gum and other sticky stuff.. Made adjustments. Fingers glide across the fret board with the greatest of ease. Didn't realize Yamaha made such a great bass for beginners and advance players. I believe it's now worth 100.00 dollars and more! I'm excited!
2000	$900	good
2015	$80	worn	karen t	what year is was it made and how much is it worth
2016	$50	poor		Neck was bowed and doesn't want to stay straight in standard tuning. Intonation is off. Bent tone knob, couple of major chips and scratches in finish. Plays okay otherwise.
2011	$80	good	Sean	Good condition, new strings. Found it used at guitar center. It plays great!
2015	€160	excellent	Dejan	Best in that price range - alder body - good resonant,rosewood finger board,thin and slide neck ,low weight..excellent - from my point of view-better from RBX 374 - ,i was having both of them
2017	$106.95	good	jfh2112	Missing the low E string, but neck was straight. A couple of dings in the body. Pickups are super-hot!

Got my red RBX260 in early 2001 and still love it today in 2023! It's so light and feels good to play. Can't seem to wear it out.

What planet is 100-200$ from? What does that even mean?? Were you attempting to sat $100-$200 range? In case you skipped the 4th grade. The dollar sign goes in in FRONT of the number.

Great bass for that price range from 100-200$. Only one change i was made on mine ,by replacing original pickups with SPB3 ,and the sound is more better from Squier p-basses.Easy weight ,slide neck...only problem is a look - not a iconic bass,like Fender design :) I recommending also for intermediate and pro players
