    IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO START ON BASS.

    I would highly recommend you YAMAHA TRBX174

    I received an INDONESIAN MADE which is an absolute piece of premium built and sound with 2 Allen key inside the box.

    Don't think twice go ahead start learning because this will go for a longer period of time.

    Kudos to CHENNAI MUSICAL FOR ALL THE WARRANTY WORK DONE WELL OVER THE WARRANTY PAPERS IN THE BOX.
