900 euros for this?
Ranee 05.12.2018
It feels cheap, vey, very cheap. Even Squier VM 5 string seems to be two times better in terms of quality and it costs half of this.

This was my fist time with Rockbass series basses and last as well. After 15 minutes of playing packed it back for return.

out the box... really good
Daniel1901 14.06.2024
I had one of the original RB Fortress 5s and it was great but heavy as.. this is lighter has a much slimmer neck and is pretty well finished, it does have a tiny bit of fret sprout, but thats easily fixed, they also need a bit of a polish, the strings feel horrible too. The rest is flawless, its easily a £1200 Bass, so for value, its bang for bucks. Pots are nice and smooth, the locking tuners is a nice addition and the gig bag was unexpected.
String spacing is very nice and the bass is really easy to play and balanced on a strap.
I'd buy another.

Degelijke en zeer mooi afgewerkte bas
Bassist Ed 20.10.2023
Ik speel al ruim 20 jaar op een 4-snarige Warwick Fortress en had al eens een wat voordeliger geprijsde 5-snarige bas van een andere gerenommeerd merk aangeschaft, om een te kijken hoe het zou bevallen om met 5-snaren te spelen, maar die bas viel op een aantal punten tegen en ik heb die dan ook toch maar weer van de hand gedaan. Ik bleef echter toch de 5-snarige kant op willen en heb uiteindelijk deze 5-snarige Fortress gekocht en dat viel niet tegen! Ondanks wat de herkomst zou kunnen doen vermoeden, is de bas prachtig afgewerkt en doet hij op alle punten degelijk aan. De kleur is in het echt nog mooier dan op de afbeeldingen. Wel is hij wat zwaarder dan mijn 4-snarige Fortress, en ik heb het idee dat dit niet alleen aan de bredere hals licht. Hij klinkt echter uitstekend, dat dat beetje extra gewicht neem ik voor lief. Een aanrader deze bas!
