Sumatra Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, it's been a while since the last time I came here, I see a lot of good stuff here around but unfortunately this time it's not for me. I'm here to sell: RBV in CAR as described in the title. She's the serial SN8955689, so she comes from '98. She's in what I rate very good / excellent conditions, with some dings on the body (that in no case is passing through the finish, and that I tried to picture at best in the pics below) and some signs of age on the neck poles. Everything is working perfectly, I have a t rod an a bridge saddles key, stored in the original hardshell case the bass is sold with. For those who are not familiar with the control layout: - volume - tone (if pulled it balances the PU like 60% bridge, 40% neck) - PU selector - three way mini-switch for each PU to switch the coil of the PU: Parallel, Single, Series The bass is very well known for the exceptional B string and that is no lie, the RBV has definitely one of the best B out there, to me. Not sure what to add more on her, please feel free to ask any question if I missed something or if you have any doubt. I'm looking for a straight sale, I know it's not nice to cut so short on the matter but I really have too many expenses to care for, I cannot afford a trade and I'm not looking for anything in this period. Price includes shipping to EU, I'm located in the north of Italy. Paypal is fine. And now the porn part of the thing: [attachment=203811:front.jpg] [attachment=203808:body.jpg] [attachment=203806:body back.jpg] Look at the veneers on the fretboard. This bass is really the most cared job Fender has done in the last 20 years [attachment=203810:fretboard.jpg] [attachment=203812:headstock.jpg] And the dongs [attachment=203809:dong 1.jpg] this shows the nice grain of the finish, the white mark is not a ding on the body. I'll add more pics later this evening [attachment=203807:body chip.jpg] An additional picture to see a ding in the body: [attachment=204245:body nick.jpg] Additional picture with bridge saddles detail: thanks Luca Edited December 12, 2015 by Sumatra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumatra Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks silverfoxnik They were quite rare when I was looking for them actually, you could only find the sunburst one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmayhem Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 What spacing @ bridge on these...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 19mm I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumatra Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) ciao bassmayhem, stings spacing is adjustable, from 17.5/18 to 20 mm I believe, but to be honest I'm not 100% about the extension of the range. I believe that standard should be 19mm, as it is now set. I can check in detail if you're curious, just let me know! I added a pic in the post to see the saddles in detail (sorry but it has been added as thumbnail only, I have some problems with the browser that is not adding the pic in the post......) thanks Luca Edited November 20, 2015 by Sumatra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
