A price that makes it easy to become a bass player.
You won't believe the great sound and consummate playability of this sonic destroyer. The LX205B 5-string bass guitar incorporates an extended maple neck with a fast and friendly rosewood fingerboard for fleet action. The J-style pickups deliver massive slabs of classic tone and are tweaked via 2 volume and 2 tone controls. Die-cast machine heads and black hardware wrap up this astonishingly priced thumper.
Features
- Basswood dual cutaway body
- Bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
- High-mass adjustable saddle bridge
- J-style pickups
- Dual volume and tone controls
- Die-cast tuners

While the pots are flawed along with a bad fret and a weak neck pickup, this is a good bass that definitely conquers the beginner category. I would, however, purchase the LX405 which has more features and a 35" neck I believe.
I have had this bass for 2 years. I own the older P/J style 5 string. It's got plenty of features for what you pay for. Tuners work fine and can keep it in tune for a long session and a couple days afterward. Plastic nut, not worth upgrading. Wish the neck was 35". Though the neck is bolt-on, it's cut in pretty deep which helps with the resonance and sustain. After raising the pickups, I can get a deep sound with a slight growl, sounds pretty good for such a cheap bass. Bridge and truss are easy to set up. The pots are a little scratchy but they work. The treble seems to work fine but the bass doesn't seem to make a difference.
This is a pretty darn good bass. It needed a setup, which anyone with a couple Allen wrenches and a screwdriver can do theirselves, just watch a how-to on Youtube. Not sure what the body wood is, the LX405 is basswood so I'm assuming this is too. Like I said earlier, the pots aren't great and the pickups sound like a higher priced squire or a cheap fender, not too bad. The 22nd fret on the D string is a little short so that note doesn't really come out. Fret ends are fine, not smooth, but they don't protrude from the fingerboard. The B is floppy. I bought a set of Rogue .130s and it's a lot tighter than the .125 Ernie Balls but I would recommend some .135s. It plays very well once set up. The strap button fell out but it was easily fixed with a toothpick and Elmer's glue.
While not a perfect or great bass, it's definitely better than a lower priced Squire or Epiphone. It's a great value.

never really got to play it~!
Got this bass for my son for christmas, he is just beginning to play and so I thought that this was going to be a great value for him. I got the first bass home and the neck was cracked, sent musicians friend a complaint and they took it back no questions asked. After my son recieved the new bass he took it to guitar lessons for the first time and he teacher asked why the neck was bowed? The teacher called me and asked me where I got the bass from (he wanted to know if it was from a local dealer). When I went to get my son from lessons the teacher showed me exactly what he was talking about. The neck was actually so bowed that when you held the bass up you could see it, the neck was also used from two different pieces of wood that were fused together. The teacher said it was not worth even trying to get it fixed. I am really dissapointed in the Rogue bue very happy with Musicans Friend and their customer service. I called back and explained to them what the issue was and they were happy to exchange the bass for me....again. This time I got a different brand and hopefully it will work out better!

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
Opened the outer box and then inner box, which was corrugated cardboard 1 ply thick, no reinforcement at top or bottom with Styrofoam or additional cardboard. Box was like a gift box where the top covers the bottom, which masked the fact that the lower box was torn apart at the bottom, and a shipping label was used to cover it.
The base was wrapped in thin white foam, and when I removed it the body was chipped on the bottom with abrasions across the back, one of the tuners was missing a screw, and two of the pods for the tone and volume were missing. It looks like the box gave way in the manufacturer's or Musician's Friend's warehouse (inspection sticker from manufacture leads me to believe the latter)the bass fell out and was somehow drug or pushed across the floor on its back, then re-boxed and shipped to me. Got a return authorization and it's on it's way back ASAP. Will try one more time with another order, but so far of the 5 Rogue guitars and basses I've ordered, only the 2 acoustic electrics and Six string bass were keepers on the first try.

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
This is a great bass fr the price. It has the feel of much more expensive basses at a bargain basement price. The tone and feel is great. I especially love the satin like finish on the neck. This is the third Rogue product I have purchased from Musician's friend and I am very happy with all of them so far.

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
Well I didn't have the highest expectations for this bass, as I just needed something to practice with since my last one got stolen. I will say that I was surprised by the overall quality. Decent workmanship, tone, and pickups. t will need the standard set up by the pro, and some new strings, as it has quite a bit of fret buzz. other than that I'm really happy with it

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
When I first bought this bass and I saw it, was great deal, but when it arrived it came with a used body, you can see a giant scratch in the painted body, I'm not lying you can see that behind the blue paint is a white paint.
Obs. The blue paint is bubbled some places

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
This was an inexpensive step up to a 5-string. None of the other bassists at church want to borrow it, because the B string messes with them. A couple of frets stick out too far. Pick-ups are weak. Spring on the G-string bridge rattles. Had to work on the jack, would like a Fender-style jack on my next one

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
I bought this bass when I played for a Christian Rock Band. Overall, this bass is good for a beginner. There is fret buzz and a humming nooise when the knobs are turned up, but otherwise, a good bass for the price.

Comments about Rogue LX205B 5-String Series III Electric Bass Guitar:
This Bass can run with any of the big dogs at larger prices. Your wasting your money on anything else. Very inexpensive but you feel like you spent a fortune. Great tone, action, intonation right out of the box. Needed no set-up at all. Love it and proud to play it and own it! Highly recommended!
