hammer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Manufactured in 1980 I've has this bass since 2001 and it was my main gigging bass until 2008 but I only use it at home now so it needs someone to look after it and use it regularly. It has loads of tonal options and an active/passive switch . It is strung with groundwound/halfround strings and there is a little wear of the fingerboard but given the age of the bass it is in good shape. There is one major ding on the body under the jack which was like that when I got it. This is not a light bass however and one of the reasons for sale is it is pretty heavy at just over 11lbs. I don't have a case for it so it would be best collected from North Somerset. Ian Edited July 30, 2018 by hammer Sold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I think this is an RS940 - I have an RS924, fretted version of the same bass - it is a beast. Stunning basses, these - GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning basses, these - GLWTS! And I had the RS824 which is the passive fretted. As you say, killer basses and at this price a hands down bargain!!!
