SisterAbdullahX Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Lovely! Did it by any chance once belong to Teesside's very own Keith Pebberdy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thinking about this, as it's been refretted by Jon Shuker, this is virtually like having a new one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 As a passive bass head, the RB V always brings a smile to my face. Awesome tone and I don't even mind the 34" scale that much on these bad boys. I am not in the market for one (have 2 passive Lulls), but it is a good thing I don't have the spare cash... GAS........ BUY IT SOMEONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The 34" scale makes it really easy to play IMO -especially if you still play a 4 string from time to time like I do.. And the B-string on mine is superb, regardless of the fact that it's not a 35" scale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The RB's are Fender's best-kept secret, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Thanks for some really positive comments & encouragement .... al I need now is somebody to take notice and buy it ! In response to a couple of Q's/comments: (sfn) - plays like new (JS did his usual excellent, professional job; just doesn't look quite new; (SAx) - suppose it might have belonged to Keith at some time, but it was with John Giblin for some time before I got it. Not seen KP for ages - at that time he had a nice matching pair (fretted/FL) of Overwater Progress 5's. [size=5][b]now sold [/b][size=4]... thanks for the many positive comments / info. on this bass[/size][/size] Edited June 24, 2012 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Someone buy this - they're unbelievable. If you want a passive bass that can nail a J tone, J-on-steroids, a P-on-steroids and encroach into MM 'bucker territory, look no further. They're so flexible it's unreal. And the build quality is up there with the CS. Eub - I don't know if you do Facebook, but if you do, [url="http://www.facebook.com/groups/157319877702238/"]post it here[/url]. If you don't, let me know and I'll post a link to this thread in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SisterAbdullahX Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It is a lovely thing, this. Almost tempted to ask if you'd be interested in a trade with my Pedulla Pentabuzz in 5A grade flame maple which I recently withdrew from sale. And I'm gigging in Darlington this weekend. Hmmmm...
