I've had my RL5 for a few months now and absolutely love it -- I was thinking to myself that I would love to hear a fish with humbuckers, and discovered the BH line. 79 of these out there seems like long odds....  |

I've had three of these, and they're neat, and unique.
Semi hollow body, mahogany core with a steel sustain bar in the middle of that.
Double J pups, coil tap for each one that give you single coil, dual parallel, dual series.
Big fat, supportive, organic tone.       | **** ****! |

this is the best BH5 I've ever played. Mercalli neck on BH body. I had originally wanted the bass to be 34" scale, we went with 35 because everybody was doing it back then. I never much liked 35. had to move the bridge forward about 1/4" to get it to into ate. it's amazing, the B string is actually better now than it was with the 35" neck. strung with DR flats. it's amazingly punchy and balanced. |

Nice nice nice!!!! Rare and wonderful. The mute device looks super cool too - you posted a week or so ago!

You a Bill Hicks fan?

Thanks for the into.
I was simply complementing you on the review you did on the BassMute. Now you can be the King of Thump: Bassmute Review
Looks like an interesting product.
