I put on some of the new DA balanced tension nickles, and she's back to factory fresh tone.
I love this bass!!!!

I love this bass!!!! | I like that. The 'bound without blocks' fretboard is my favorite look on a RW or Ebony board. Pure class. Dig it! |

I consider myself very fortunate that I have mine. I could not afford one now with the new prices. The prices they sell for used now are a real steal. |
