Yamaha RBX4 A2 Electric Bass GuitarYamaha RBX4 A2 Electric Bass Guitar features Yamaha's A.I.R. Body Construction Technology!
Join the revolution in evolution. It has long been stated that the more uniform and heavy the material, the better the sound, Yamaha is breaking thru the mold with their advanced technology called Alternative Internal Resonance (A.I.R). Mixing together an excellent combination of lightweight and resonant softwoods sandwiched between harder tonewoods, A.I.R. is the means to creating sustain filled instruments loaded with tone all while keeping the body ultra-lightweight.
Yamaha RBX4 A2 Features
- Proprietary A.I.R. (Alternative Internal Resonance) construction body
- LED lit cylindrical die-cast volume and pickup selection knobs
- Yamaha Custom Shop Designed Single Coil pickups
Used successfully in their RGX Guitar line, Yamaha offers this sustain and tone in the RBX Basses with the RBX4 A2.
The Secret of A.I.R. Technology
Alternative Internal Resonance (or A.I.R.) technology utilizes a lightweight wood core sandwiched between a harder, heavier wood on both the front and back of the guitar's body. Special sound tubes pass through the body so that string vibrations that would normally resonate through the guitar's top are transmitted through the entire body. By exciting the entire body structure and shaping the tone with the hard top and back, A.I.R. construction creates a full, powerful, and resonant tone with distinctive presence and body that are truly unique.
