[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1458994326' post='3012663'] If it's any help, this is one of the best balanced basses in the universe and feels nowhere near the actual weight it is. Regret selling mine. Unfortunately, I'm on best behaviour (translate as warning) [/quote] Thanks and that is true; the RBVs I've had never felt heavy, even on long gigs. They also sound great too.. Just took this out to take some more photos and had a noodle on it for a few minutes afterwards. It sounds really good even unamplified!

Cool.. Then I'd like it please. I'll PM you later to sort things out, Cheers Nik

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1458392575' post='3007200'] Wow, these are impressive. I really wanted these, but struggled to find a matching pair so went with barefaced, had these been around at this price... I'd have had your arm off! Bargain for some amazing cabs here for some lucky guy or gal! GLWTS. [/quote] +1 GLWTS

Hi, Is the Korg you're selling the same as this one: http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/korg-microkey-401709 Thanks Nik

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1458864980' post='3011764'] How is this still here? [/quote] Lots of interest so far Luke, but no definite takers as yet..

Easter weekend BUMP! Still here, Folks

[quote name='bassman_feb_64' timestamp='1458815826' post='3011091'] These cabs are great for any type of music thanks for the like though Silverfoxnik [/quote] Very true; a great all-rounder!

Hi there, if you can post (at my expense of course), I'd be happy to buy the Speakon to Jack lead you have for sale? Thanks Nik

Temptation is a very beautiful, yet dangerous thing.. Especially here on Basschat!

[quote name='ROBBIE' timestamp='1458664634' post='3009626'] Thank you for your prompt reply regarding weight. Slightly on the heavy side for me...However some one will get a great bass. Regards Rob. [/quote] No problem and thanks..

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1458638475' post='3009226'] I'm surprised this isn't gone already at this price. They generally go for well over a grand from what I've seen on here - amazing value. Nice bass and, personally, I like it when they're not totally mint - means you can relax more when you're using it [/quote] Thanks Still here at the moment...

I've had a PM or two inquiring if the bass comes with the original case and any of the original case candy... Unfortunately it doesn't; it wasn't like that when I bought it I'm afraid and to be honest, if it did have all that, then it'd most probably be priced differently..

Hope this helps the question of what the nut width is.... [attachment=215237:RBV Nut Width.jpg]

Hi again, OK.. I'll try and measure it this morning for you. Cheers Nik

Found this info online : *34'' scale (don't get any ideas about the B string, it marvelous) *1.875'' nut spacing *String spacing is 19 mm *Neck profile is a very comfortable asymmetric... it's big but it doesn't feel as big as it should (and in general I find big necks = big tone) *Factory pickups are a Bill Lawrence design and sound wonderful all the way down to open low B And this on Amazon of all places! The five-string Roscoe Beck Bass V guitar is built to Beck?s exacting specs. It features a special ?Modern-Vintage? select alder body, maple neck with assymetrical oval shape and Posiflex? graphite neck support rods, 9.5?-radius pao ferro fingerboard, two Special Design side-by-side humbucking pickups, master tone control with push/pull mid-shaping feature, three-position blade switching and two mini-toggle coil switches that enable six further tonal combinations, a distictive three-ply mint green pickguard, chrome hardware and a six-bolt neck plate.Model Name Roscoe Beck V (5-String) BassModel Number 019-6500-(Color #)Series Artist SeriesColors (800) 3-Color Sunburst,(809) Candy Apple Red,(844) Shoreline Gold,(845) Teal Green Metallic,(Polyurethane Finish)Body Special Design ?Modern-Vintage?

Hope that helps?

The necks are surprisingly comfortable to play IMO, but obviously, everyone's different when it comes to these things. It's an asymmetric profile, which makes it easier to play if you've never tried a 5 string before.. String spacing at the bridge is 19mm. I'll try to find out more detailed spec for you and will post it up here when I do.

I have the SVT-15EN, and it's a lovely sounding cab IMO. If you play any Motown, Soul, Blues or Rock and like a more 'old-skool' sound, then this cab is perfect for that. GLWTS
