I know it's been a long while since anyone has posted to this thread, but is anyone here interested in selling an RB650 or know of one for sale?  If so, please contact me.  I used to have one, loved it, and now want to get one for my 10 yr old son.  Thank you all!

They come up on Ebay all the time.  Prices are reasonable.   Might be a little heavy for a 10 year old.

My now-17 year old son started at 9 years old on a short-scale '78 Fender Musicmaster, and I taught him upright bass fingering (Simandl 1-2-4). That puts minimal stress on the small left hand, and became very useful when he switched to upright at 11 years old. If you start your son on a long scale, I'd suggest that you make sure he learns a fingering method that doesn't require stretching.

I still use the Simandl method. Especially on my 6 string...my hand and wrist doesn't hurt so much that way.
