Yamaha RBX375 5-String Bass Guitar gives you a lot for the money. Even though the scale length is 34 inches, I find the bass tone quite clear and bright with DR low-rider stainless steel strings (MH5-45). I like the feel, playability, and tone of 34 inch scales as long as the string balance is even and the tone is clear. The B string is actually very good on this bass and its volume balance with the other strings is very close. If yours is not, adjust the pickups a bit closer on the B string side and recheck your frequency response of your cabinet! (string choice may make a difference as well).

I wasn`t sure if I would like the 2 band onboard preamp but I ended up loving it. It doesn`t choke off the midrange as some active circuits do and I think the midrange has a really open "passive pickup" air about it, yet it`s output level is one of the hottest I`ve ever played. I have no trouble driving tube front ends and with a lot of my playing I find I am only needing to keep the volume on the bass at 50-70 percent of full and it pushes the tubes very nicely.
The bass has a definite rock bite to it and it plays well. Stingray-ish tones can be had by panning slightly back to the bridge pickup and p-bass-ish tones are available as you slightly pan towards the neck pickup. Right in the middle you get that slightly mid scooped "out of phase" quack (at least thats how my ears hears it) tone. Awesome bass!
