    Early 90's (I think) RBX5. Bass is in good condition, with only one tiny paint nick near the arm relief, and a small chip in the nut at the b string. Intonation and playability aren't affected, as far as I can tell. String spacing is extremely tight - it seems like they put 5 strings on a 4-string neck. Great if your into that, but its just too narrow for me. I just put new strings on it as well. Also included is a hard case. I'm pretty sure the case is original as well, but I'm not 100%. Asking $270, shipping not included.

    That's nice. But I'd be all thumbs. It's probably hard to play for someone with gigantic sausage fingers like me. :)

    All thumbs?? That would make for some SERIOUS slappin'. Mr. Wooten better watch out! :D But seriously, I have the same problem with this bass, which is why I'm getting rid of it. This bass would be absolutely perfect for someone with small hands and/or short fingers who wanted the low-B experience.

    Thanks, methodis. The pictures really don't do this color justice. Its a very heavy pearl white, almost like the pearl white that Lexus uses.
