Design of  the RGXA2 focused on creating a lightweight 
instrument that would bring the guitar and player closer to-
gether. The response we received from its release was great.
The resulting sound shattered the widely accepted concept 
that “light guitars only produce light sound”, and brought new 
users to the instrument thanks to its light weight. Moreover, it 
received great acclaim from discerning professional guitarists 
and music dealers.
In addition to the great attention the RGXA2 received, re-
quests increased daily for a bass version of this amazing 
instrument. So we quickly set about developing a bass guitar 
with an A.I.R structure, and produced three models; a regular 
scale, medium scale, and 5-string.
The RBXA2 weighs about 20% less than its standard bass 
counterpart. Matched with an original pickup system devel-
oped in cooperation with Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood, 
it delivers a heavy sound that is both clear and powerful.

A.I.R. (Alternative Internal Resonance)

Our A.I.R. development team took the design used on the RGXA2 and adapted 
it for use with a bass guitar. The instrument’s structure consists of lightweight 
core material sandwiched in between solid materials. Strings passing through 
the backside of the body transmit energy throughout the entire body delivering 
outstanding resonance and excellent response.

Original Pickups

An original pickup was developed 
to match the RBXA2’s body design. 
It produces a well-shaped attack 
and clear tone with presence. Tonal 
character is smooth from the low 
range through to the high, and it 
delivers some truly great distortion.

LEDs Illuminated Volume 
Controls

The 3-control system includes front 
volume, rear volume, and master tone 
controls. Volume levels for both front 
and rear pickups are indicated by LED 
brightness. Looks are simply cool 
onstage.

Original Bridge

To provide the utmost in functionality, 
the compact bridge is designed 
without any protruding parts such as 
screws, etc.  Sound tubes passing 
through the body underneath the 
bridge  directly  transmit  string  energy 
to the body.

RBX4A2

This regular scale model weighs just 3.2 kg and offers superior balance in addition 
to its ultra light weight. Fusing seamlessly with the player it offers unprecedented 
playing comfort that stuns bassists who regularly play a standard bass. Light 
weight, superior comfort, and easy playing action let you concentrate on your play-
ing for extended periods of time. Physically it is light in weight, sonically it is anything 
but. A.I.R. technology and newly developed pickups deliver a thick, robust tone that 
is clear, powerful, and blends well with a wide range of musical styles.

The RBX5A2 is a 5-string version of the RBX4A2.
This bass delivers clear, powerful, and rich tone 
all the way down to its low open B. Its wide 
sound range and outstanding playability defy the 
common concepts of previous 5-string designs, 
and open the door to a whole new range of playing 
possibilities.

RBX4A2M

White & Aircraft Gray

The medium scale version of the RBX4A2 has an 
825.5mm scale length that is 38.1mm shorter than the 
RBX4A2. Its compact body and neck offer excellent 
playability, while it's A.I.R. structure delivers light weight 
and superior comfort. Tone production is inherently 
A2—thick, clear, and punchy. The RBX4A2M is highly 
recommended for those with smaller physiques or for 
players pursuing technical playing styles or physically 
active performance.

* Compatible with regular scale strings.
