It ain't.
The toaster, setup and shielding make it a cut above the rest.

It's strung with DR Sunbeams and pulls off a real ballsy Chris Squire and Dave Meros growl without being zingy.
If you've ever heard Squire's tone on Mind Drive on Yes's Keystudio album, this Ric nails it.

|  | Supporting Member | | | | Sweet bass, a new one won't have this setup and extras and likely won't sound as good. I think these inlays are nicer than the new ones too. Thankful to have the ability to consider this or new though... Free bump, well not exactly free because I have been flooding the seller with PM questions...  |
