We just finished our newest Slab bass and this time it's a 70s style with a Darkstar pickup in the neck. The basses weight is nice at 9 pounds 3.5 oz and it sounds like a grand piano.

That has got to be the blackest butterscotch blonde body I've ever seen :hiding:

Other than that it looks great, I love the relicing on it.

That's what you get when you rush and get te wrong spec sheet.:rollno:

Incredible. Wish I had some spare cashola.

Anyone interested in this bass we will offer free US shipping!!

I'd buy it in a heart beat if I had money. You guys dont accept kidney's do you?

This bass sounds great and we were using it to record some tracks showing our newest guitar pickup and we were so happy with how it recorded that we remixed a couple (played through a silverface Bassman) to show off the bass. So here ya go.

Sounds awesome :bawl:

Time to make things hard on anyone who likes Darkstars. $1500 delivered and I'll even throw in a free RS Tee shirt. I just used this bass again Friday to do a bass line for another sound clip for one of our pickups and it just records great. It's fat but still has a great growl.

Taking this to Arlington?

Nope we won't be at Arlington. How's things going?

kinda off topic but i like the train tracks as a backdrop.

This still around?

Hey,
Happy holidays to you guys in Winchester. I hope all is well.

fwiw: I darkstar'd my '72 tele bass (no mods required, used a new p/g) and it sounds killer.
i imagine this kills as well.
good luck with the sale, and nice job!

Killer bass!!! is it still for sale?

I know this is an older post but that is one great sounding bass.

I saw this bass at the Nashville Guitar Show 3/7&3/8/09.
Great bass and still available. Try contacting

rsguitarworks.com

MPat.

wonder what the signal chain was when they recorded those clips.SWEET!

Roy, Scott and the crew are amazing luthiers. I can't say enough good things about them and their work! Wish I could afford another bass...

The clips are great!

Hi Guys, Yep this bass is still for sale (I can't understand why). To give you details on the clips they are very simple. The bass is being played through a Art MP tube preamp then is ran into a Mac Mini where it's recorded flat using Garage band. No tricks at all, just straight tone from the bass. It records like a dream!! Now for the good news we are having a sale on all our guitars in stock till Sunday, so it's 20% off now.
