rorysmith Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Had to buy this on a recent tour of Germany when my double bass neck met an untimely separation from my double bass body. Purchased from a music shop in Leipzig for 150€ all in so looking to move it on (with gig bag and strap) for[b] £90 collected[/b], courier possible which will have to be organised by buyer. In pretty much 'as new' condition with a few surface marks, more detailed photos to come soon. Strings (rounds) were new when purchased, I think they are d'addarios judging by the coloured ball ends, used for about 5 hours in total.

alyctes Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Ouch... did you get the DB fixed? I have never got on with RBX basses for some reason, but that's me not them, the ones I've played have been pretty nice and always good value. Good luck with your sale Edited February 20, 2017 by alyctes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, the RBX170 was my first bass guitar ever about 14 years ago so using it for a few gigs was a right trip down memory lane. They are fantastic basses for the money and the perfect starter instrument. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
