Karen Carpenter is near the top for me, too! I really like Nora Jones, also, I just Don’t Know Why! (Did you see what I did there?!)

I have an RBX 300 that I’ve owned since buying it new in 1987. I immediately put an EMG active pickup in it. Great sounding and playing bass for the modest investment. I played it on the road (I’m a gospel player) for 34 years, drug it in and out of the heat and cold and it just performed -...

Thank you, Sir! I’m pretty fond of it!

FLStudiobassist, We have the exact same Ray! Beautiful, aren’t they? I don’t regret buying mine for a second!
