    I always thought those RBXs were gorgeous. A couple friends had RBX765As that looked amazing, and just a year or so ago I bought an RBX6JM that was perfect apart from the 35” scale.

    Cheap acoustic bass guitars are rarely loud enough to be played unamplified, unless it’s in a small room with very quiet instruments and singer.
  3. therealting
    That is a stupid good deal.

    Not very much in it, a smidge more attacky through the bridge, more sustainy through the body. Similar to bolt-on, neck through. YMMV. I think the diagonal stringing just means there is less bend on the strings at the saddle.

    I don’t disagree... but I also hated the pickup surrounds on the older BBs so everyone’s different! I tried both stringing options and have stuck with through-body. Astounded to have all those options on a bass that cost so little though!
  6. therealting
    The 435 isn’t just string through though, it offers two options of either string through bridge or through body. Economically, it would make more sense to use the same bridge for all the 3 series basses rather than two different ones.
  7. therealting
    As the others have said, the extended B stringing gives options and a tauter feel when stringing through the bridge rather than through the body. The question for me is why they didn’t do it for the 735 and P35!
  8. therealting
    BB435s are awesome, I have one and it holds its own in a much more expensive collection.
  9. therealting
    What’s the scale length of this one then? I assume not 33”
  10. therealting
    Wow, I actually own a 64 and I have to say that’s a wonderful job!
  11. therealting
    A ridiculous amount of bass for £100!
  12. therealting
    I’d say don’t limit yourself to American ones. I’ve had a couple Japanese ones which are every bit as good or even better. I have a 61 and a 64, and I always end up picking up my 7.4lb ‘85 MIJ medium scale P now...

    Again not the cheapest bass, but my Dingwall Super P5 is so damn near the perfect bass that I really could manage with just it and none of the others.

    Wish these fit mine!

    Will you have to change your name if this sells? 😔
  17. therealting
    Probably a case of demand and the cost of keeping rarely-needed or asked-for spare parts in stock.
  18. therealting
    Well that’s the thing, they sound absolutely fine. Will probably have a play with strings first before I think about pickups. It’s genuinelt astounding for what it cost.
  19. therealting
    Just searched and seen it, killer price! This was still more than £650 cheaper so I think I’ll be ok for now 😄
  20. therealting
    Nope, used prices! I’ve not seen a P35 for less than £1100 so far. Not sure what pickups yet but if I do they’ll probably be Nordstrands.
  21. therealting
    The price I got on my 435 is pretty much unbeatable IMO, more than £850 less than the cheapest P35 price I’ve seen. I may yet change out the pickups and get the fingerboard dressed and rolled.
  22. therealting
    Are there big differences between the 435 and P35?
  23. therealting
    I know they’re popular, but the first page was almost all Markbass when I looked - more than I could fit on my phone screen!
  24. therealting
    Hipshot are great to work with, well worth sending them an email to see what they can do.
