Sign in to disble this ad
I've devloped a recently very unhealthy obssession with 80's basss...the last 15 years I have been kind of high end snob, but recently got back into my Spector, Ibanez Musician, Jaydee etc...Long story short as a result of my quest for intresting high end 80's basses, and a reunion project with some old friends of mine whom I played hair metal with, I have devloped a bit of an issue with collecting up some of the pointy and wild color things that were the rage back in the day... The story of this bass, was that I bought it from a long time friend as a package deal with a matching SR-800. Both basses play freakishly good...(comming from a guy who owns F-Bas, Spector Smith etc) The SR-800 as much as embarsses me to admit it- has become one of my work horses. This bass was also slated to be just that-but the model up RD727 (with shark fin inlays) fell into my lap- and I like it just a tad better.
I am not 100% certian of the model, year or orgin of this one, I belive it be an RD707, and am reasonably certain its Jap made. It has the double P pickups, the neck plays really nicely with low action, and its nice and lightweight. Its pretty "grindy" in terms of tone- my guitarist thinks it sounds a lot like my US NS-2...not sure I hear that, as it doesn't have quite the same thump- but its in the ball park, and has nice big low end to it. Bass Comes with orginal Ibanez bag.
I am asking $200 for the bass. I would also entertain some trades. Probally other pointy things, Jacksons, Kramers, Charvels, Peaveys, would be of most intrest to me, I' m not really looking for SX's or Squires...got the Fender thing covered....unless you have an old Jazz Bass Special...wouldn't mind a guitar either (Ibanez RD, Kramer, Charvel etc) |

I thought it would be cool- and if doesn't sell I may do this to drop a preamp in it and wire it in stereo. |

I had a dark blue one... Awesome bass, I still miss the tone I got from mine sometimes.
Here are some clips from the band I was in with it from 1989 clip 1 clip 2 clip 3
(strung with roto swing bass lights and played through a Roland BN100 and Crate G60... all instruments tracked live via room mics into a cassette 4 track with vocals overdubbed) |
