As you can see from my other threads, I am selling off my collection to pay for the engagement. This is a bass I wanted for a long time because we always wondered how they sound. Well im not gonna put down Ray's R bass work as I have had two basses but for the price I would put this bass up against his. This is one of the Brazil made Exotic Guitars from the later generations after working out some of the kinks. There is no problem with the truss rod and the set up is great.
