alyctes Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Looks as if the body bouts are easily changed? Not much use if you haven't got anything to replace them with, but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKS-5-String-Bass-A-Thing-of-Beauty/172988792662?hash=item2846ef7f56:g:zggAAOSw43haEbMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm not convinced it is "a thing of beauty".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Think I've seen guitars like this before, but not a bass. I quite like weird but this wouldn't get on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 My jazz guitar (as a Wes Montgomery fan, I own one Ibanez Jazz Idontknowwhatmodelitis that I hardly play) has the same principle for the volume and tone of the Benedetto floating pickup and it's not THAT easy to use at all...

BigRedX Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Unfortunately extremely overpriced. A few years ago you could pick up a brand new one for about half the current asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I had one of these many years ago, in red. This actual one was for sale a few months ago on eBay. Don't know if its the same seller or someone who bought it and is seeking to make a fast buck? They were nice to play as no visible controls and quite ergonomically designed. The body bouts however do not detach from what I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I thought the neck and inner body slotted into the outer body in some way and could be removed and put into a different body.
