Congrats! Finally I know someone locally with an RD and will get to hear it!
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?

I actually meant old ones. I wouldn't buy the new Ampeg stuff.

I'm floored with all the RD love! I hadn't seen much mention of them, even here. Only one I've seen in person is the guitar version.

The bass is a bit heavy, but I always thought they were unique..................

Yeah man, if I had an RD, it would be one of those! Definitely prefer the darker fingerboard. Were those ebony or rosewood?

Those were ebony fretboards.

So the deal actually got sweeter- the included shipping came next day!  All the switches currently work as they should, sounds like a beast! Can't believe how much I dig this thing. Ya'll aren't kidding with the weight, either. Not too bad as it balances great, though! Thanks for your input everybody!
Go fast, take chances.

Congrats! It is a heavy beast, but it sustains! The guitar seems way lighter than the bass. You wouldn't think that extra neck length would add that much weight....... :vader: :vader: :vader:

I think it would look great leaning on the back of a Subaru!
