[b]Price or Trade Value : £900[/b]
Previously owned by Basschatters Musashimonkey and dudi8 - an amazing bass for the money, Fodera style single cut with 28 frets in mint condition

[attachment=213275:$_57.JPG]

Only offered for trade or sale as I'm hankering for a more traditional-looking 4-string with a maple-board


[b]from RMI:[/b]
[i]"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."[/i]

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). GLWTS
