Not sure which cleaning kit you are using. I'm sure it will be fine. I always make sure to have a few clean micro fiber towels around when doing mine.

I have changed out the bridges on all 4 of my sx's(2 j style four string, 1 j style 5 string and 1 ursa 4)with the economy bridge from Bass Parts Resource. The 4 string bridge is a direct replacement. The 5 string needed to be plugged and drilled. Mainly it is one of the mods I do out of the box...

I've had to do this in the past and it worked like a charm. Push down on the B string on both sides of the saddle. This will help more of the string contact the saddle and solve your problem.

Sorry to hear about your bandmate...by the way, what kind of guitar did he play?

You can practice your air guitar on it.

You may want to try and put it on the old bathroom scale. A 57(alder) should come in around 9 lbs. A 75(ash) should come in around 10 lbs.

I have to agree with this. I look at it the same way as auto makers. They are forever changing body styles and interiors but in my case I like to stick to the same manufacturer because I trust the product. My most recent SX purchase is an URSA 4 RN 3TS. Funny thing is while you are playing the...

I had the same issue with my Ursa 4. While I was leveling a few frets I took the tuners out and spayed a silicone lubricant into them. This has helped with the grinding feel of the tuners. Hope this helps.

Given Rondo's return policy, I can't see how you would go wrong buying one. Remember, you are not buying a $120 Fender. They are two diferent animals. I say go for it and be ready to tweek it to your liking. You just might end up back for a second one. Good luck!

Still have mine. It's a 69ish Dan Armstrong. Bought it back in the early 80"s from the bass player of a Long Island group called the Bloodless Pharoes. I had to make a patch for the input jack and put on a brass nut and a homemade brass bridge. Those were the days. Oh, a few years ago I found an...
