Agreed....the RB5's are absolutely superb, unique basses.
I have had mine for a number of years and am still reluctant to part with it, but I have returned to playing 4 strings only.

Hi Wayne
Amazing. Just wondering 35", single cut...how is the neckdive?
cheers

Thanks.......neck dive has never been an issue for me, as I use a slightly longer strap then angle the neck higher, which changes the centre of gravity.
There is however a simple device called a 'Dingus' available from Rick Turner which extends the strap location on the body of the bass if this is an issue.
