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.

Musashimonkey Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 This is an incredible bass, very low action possible, and fantastic range of tones, very slim and comfortable neck too. I had the wonderful opportunity of owning this and a Fodera Emperor ii elite, and I must say that although there are differences, this bass does come very close! And at the huge difference in price... Someone's in for a treat here. (Disappointed that I don't have the funds to buy this one back actually).
