Is The Rogue Lx405 Pro A Good Bass Guitar?
Is the Rogue LX405 Pro a good bass guitar? In fact, are ANY Rogue basses good? As always, that is a matter of opinion, but I will try to present all the facts and let you decide for yourself.
First of all, Rogue basses often are perceived as cheap junky basses. In the olden days they weren’t the best quality, and people didn’t like them. That reputation stuck, and even today many people don’t like Rogue basses just because they ARE Rogue basses. Unfortunately, most of these people haven’t even played the newer models.
For less than $200 (and less than $100 for some Rogues), you can’t expect them to be awesome basses that will outperform a $2000 boutique bass. However, for the price they are actually pretty reliable basses to learn on or jam on when you aren’t doing a big show.
The Rogue LX405 Pro has a basswood body with a maple veneer, so it is very lightweight. But the two way truss rod and reinforcement of the neck make it a very sturdy bass. The hardware and finish are nice, but again, you can’t compare this to an expensive bass.
One main benefit is the pickups. Most beginner basses ($400 or less) don’t have active pickups. But the Rogue has active/passive pickups with EQ. It is easy to switch back and forth from active and passive mode, and for a bass this cheap it sounds pretty good.
You will find mixed reviews of this bass. On one hand there are the people that will say it is junk simply because it
is a Rogue bass. But there are people who have played it and realize that
it is actually a pretty solid bass.
Overall, the Rogue LX405 Pro is a pretty good bass for the price.
If you have more money to spend, you can obviously buy better basses. But for only $200, it will be hard to find a bass that will play this good and have these features.
If you want to learn to play bass, or try out a 5 string, or just want a backup bass to keep lying around for practice, this is one of the better choices that you can get without having to spend much money.
