*SOLD* Aurora NW6APX RMI 6 String Bass - New - Priced to sell £849

[Musashimonkey]

A beautiful handmade RMI (Ramsay Musical Instruments) 6 string single cut bass with thru neck. RRP £2979.

I recently won this bass on eBay, have played it for a few glorious total hours, so as NEW! I need to reconvert into cash unfortuantely due to unforseen circumstances - very very very dissapointed to be forced into letting this go so soon, it's a great bass with loads of versatility. Asking for price I paid, so someone's in for a bargain, this is silly cheap!

Pick up in Kent, or happy to post at buyers expense and fully insured - just ask for a quote.

"Brand new, not ex. demo or refurbished. RMI basses are individually factory built - not cloned or mass produced. To date, all RMI basses have been unique in some way, but this specific example of Aurora is radical to say the least. This model is lighter with a thinner neck - reinforced with 7-piece multi-laminate maple/ash with an optimal tone wood package. The bass features best-of-breed hand crafted Nordstrand pickups (found on the world's most expensive boutique basses, top of the range Delano preamp/pots, ETS bridge and Gotoh toggle switches. Equipped with the ultimate professional features, it is not inconceivable to find instruments of this spec, tone and playability for more than three times the price."

This caught my eye on ebay too.

Today's word : intrigued

[Dazed]

What would this weigh ?

[Musashimonkey]

It's a great bass, and usually sells for much more than this. The luthier sold it at a loss for a quick sale, they usually go for £2,979 or £2,319 direct, according to price listing, P&P would be on top. This one is lighter than most at 4.4kgs = 9.7lbs.

Hi,

Great looking bass, Fodera styled, but with something personal.

Seems to sound great too according to the video.

Why buy a Chinese crap when you can have this ?!?

Have a free bump.

GLWYS.
