Yo Everyone,
A funny thing happen while I was at eBay. I was looking for some better Cables. I heard that Planet Wave were awesome. So, I looked into them and, they are amazing! I wanted the ones that have the circuit breaker in them so, you can change Basses without turning off your Amp.
I find them on eBay and I buy one, real cheap too! After that, I check the Basses that they have there. Heck, this time I looked at the 6 string basses. I have been wanting to get 6 string for a very long time but, I keep telling myself, Man, they have 6 strings on them! How are you going to play it? LOL!! I found a few that I really wanted to get my hands on. There were Carvin's, Warwick's, Peavey Cirrus, and Ibenez, that were within my price range. Darn, all of the Musicman Basses were way out of my price range! Sniff, sniff! As time went on the bidding on Warwick's got to Rich for me, same with the Carvin!
So, I go back there a couple of times a week, and I find this Raven West RB6500 Walnut Wings Active Electronics 6 string Bass! WOW!! It is a Sweet Bass and, within my price range. I bid on it. And as the clock ticked to zero, it was mine, for less than $100.00 per string! LOL! I paid $535.00 for it.
It has a LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! The 35" scale neck-thru section has a genuine MACCASSAR EBONY FINGERBOARD, inlaid with our beautiful ABALONE BLUE PEARL VINE inlay. Look at the WALNUT WINGS!! It has GENIUNE WILKINSON tuners as well, for smooth and precise tuning and stability. The BB222 bridge offers great tone and the adjustability to exactly set your intonation and set your action right where you want it. The TWO BD-4 DOUBLE COIL pickups are matched to ACTIVE ELECTRONICS that feature a master volume, pickup PAN control and separate BASS, MID and TREBLE boost and cut EQ controls that allow you to dial in EXACTLY the tone that you are looking for without resorting to tons of outboard gear.
All metal parts are plated in an elegant BLACK CHROME finish. It has an ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch that allows you to keep pumping out the bottom end even if a faulty or weak battery should suddenly fail in the middle of your gig. Etc, etc, etc!!
Now, I trying to be a Tai Chi Instructor and learning how to play this Carvin Fretless bass, and I get a 6 string Bass! I got my work cut out for me!!
Look Out Roger...I'll soon have as many Basses as you have!!! :^D
