Jono Bolton Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looking through Rondo's SX catalogue, I'm taken by the SJB-62CT 3TS (catchy ) What a beauty! Same with the green version too, it's given me some ideas for my Sage Green Mexi Jazz. Funnily enough I have 3 flat top chrome knobs arrive this morning, now all I need is the pickup/bridge covers and a thumb rest, although I've heard standard bridge covers wont fit over a Badass II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Also, I know this is for SX porn, but has anyone else spotted that [url="http://www.rondomusic.com/asb1.html"]Brice semi[/url] on Rondo's site? Re-jig the headstock to make it more Gibbo/Epi-like and it'd look pretty sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 [quote name='Stan_da_man' post='156236' date='Mar 12 2008, 06:02 PM']I was hoping to get a P in blue with maybe a tort pickguard - like this: [/quote] Rondo stock changes all the time so you just have to wait for one to pop up on their site then grab it. You can ask them if they are expecting one (if that is a SX bass and you have the model number) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan_da_man Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Right. I've decided I'll be buying an SX has I've found a place where I can get 'em for £95 inc. p+p. I've wanted a P again for a long time and these 2 are the JD version of it. These are the two of which one I'll buy: Black with tort pickguard "aged" - Lake placid blue with tort pickguard - I think both these models are the SPB-62 model on Rondo's site, only in a different paint job.

dmz Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Rich, Like the Jazz with tort pickguard combo and your new pearl blocked and bound neck. With a headstock that shape you could quite readily make a "Fadowsky" decal for it. Very naughty ! Ahem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a true bargain.[/quote] They always try to make that stuff sound important, or make you think you need it, when really all they're doing is clearing out stuff they cant sell and taking up space in your binbag.

lukeward2004 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Crikey - they look rather good for the money! Lovely project P's there fellas, really nice work - id need to play one to see what they are like "in the flesh", but they certainly look the part, ideal for a beginner or just as a mess around bass.
