Just received my Yamaha bass pack in good order. I really knew nothing about this particular package - all I knew is that all of the other packages out in the market (except for the pricier Ibanez unit)were junk. This package offered alot of value for the money. I was counting on Yamaha's reputation for quality ,and - for the most part, it doesn't disappoint. The guitar looks & feels good, lightweight but not junky. It plays super easily (although I had to adjust the action a bit), and it sounds nice - a very decent rock bass that has an edgy sound.
The little practice amp is even better than I imagined - solid, quality feel. Of course, you'll never be able to play a gig with the amp (unless it's with acoustic guitars) but what do you expect? The little electronic tuner works great, the cable is junky , and the strap is OK. This package even includes an extra set of strings,a string winder and a Hal Leonard instructional booklet. These are extras the other packages don't inlcude.
For the money, the next best package next to the Ibanez set.

I have a Yamaha RBX170 electric bass guitar, which is basically just a slightly better version of the guitar that comes with the ERB070 bass guitar "starter kit". I've always been impressed with Yamaha's quality, and these lower-end bass guitars don't disappoint.

However, I'd recommend going with the RBX170 bass, and save the rest of your money and pick up a decent amp. For the same amount of money, I got a slightly better Yamaha guitar (with a better agathis body, better pickups, and with more choice of colors), and an amp that is better than just a practice amp.

Brilliant product and service. Everything is as described. It was shipped on time. The ERB070 produces an excellent sound for the price!

The bass arrives with everything you need. Take 20 minutes to straighten the neck. Instructions for this are included. Follow the instructions! Or you could permanently damage your bass. Tuning is easy with the tuner included.

With a little patience, you'll sound great in no time. Enjoy!

I bought this bass guitar for my son for Christmas. He is just a beginner so I wanted a good guitar but not an expensive one. I have been very pleased so far with the performance of this instrument. It has a great sound and seems like a quality guitar. My son's guitar teacher was very impressed with it and felt we had made a good purchase.

Nice guitar for the price. very enjoyable, although the strap is kind of cheesy and the holee on it snapped after i used it for the 3rd time....no biggie, though. It fit my needs and i am very happy with it.

This bass guitar is as said and is a great purchase. Everything's in excellent condition and I enjoyed playing this instrument.

I bought this bass three years ago.
It came with everything I needed to set it up, and the sound was excellent.
But a couple of months after, the guitar's cable input jack somehow stop functioning the way it should, now the cable output wont go in completely and, of course, the sound is affected.
Still, I think it is a very good package for beginners and at a good price.
