Manufacturer Rogue Model RP200 5-string Bass
Reviewer JC, 15 years
Experience Item owned
Review Date Price paid anywhere from $200.00 down to $139.00
Neck TypeMaple, one piece Bolt on, with full length adjustable truss rod.
FingerboardRosewood, available in both fretted and fretless models, no change in price. It plays really well, my fingers slid smoothly from position to position on both the fretted and fretless models.
Body TypeMaple or Spruce, I think.
FinishMetallic Charcoal, Red or Black
Pickup(s)Passive P&J Rogue (fender copies)
Controlsindividual controls for volume and tone
It has a small to mid-sized width, nicely contoured to fit the hand, easy to play for long periods of time. a well made bass for the money, packed with playability. good for a second bass. Individual controls for volume and tone,although they have a limited range for both, might be due to the pickups, which are a little limited in the volume department. but they do give a nice over-all appearance to the Bass, and are easy to use/adjust while playing.
