I've never seen an RD in any form before i joined ILF :lol:
All I remember about the RD was seeing Novoselic playing one in the Lithium and Heart Shaped Box videos and thinking it was a really cool looking bass. But I never knew much about it until just a few years ago.

Alright Gibson. Time for the RD special bass. $600-700, good colors, passive pickups, and not a signature model. Go!

Is that a positive? And that $1300. :no:

Needs humbuckers too.

Is it not 25.5" scale? Couldn't see that on the spec pages, but that blows.

No Robot tuners thankfully. Standard Grovers with the keystone shaped button instead.

Oh it's not tradition that I'm hanging on to. I just prefer a longer scale, nickel hardware, and lower prices.
