Its odd, I have a TE rig 1215 combo and 15 ext in great nick and I think I would be pressed to give them away.IMHO they are in a fashion dip, like 60's p basses in the disco era. I have a feeling that those with a clean headless graphite status and a matching status rig in years to come will be in the money. You know when you paid an arm and a leg for something and can't give it away - well that isn't because they were crap - its because the young boys who used to own them are like me old boys with iffy backs. I have a feeling that as we fade into history someone is going to be looking for 'That' sound and like buying a museum piece Ampeg, nobody will care about it being ply, mdf, sliders or heavy as a house. They will remember what we forgot - just how good they were. .

I bought a 5 string with walnut top from another BC'er a few weeks ago. I lacked that little bit of mwah so shimmed the neck and thee it was. Huge deep chocolaty bass frequencies, thump at the low end and perfect understated mwah up the neck. I know there are other makers out there but this hits the spot for me. You know when an instrument is really good because you improve with it. It makes you play better This is a sound I have been looking for a long time, and the RA has been fantastic from the moment I picked I up. I know they are not cheap even 2n hand, but all I can say is that mine is the dogs. I am a happy with it in its own way as my 65 P. I think it is a modern classic.
