I've never seen an RD in any form before i joined ILF
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.
Needs humbuckers too.
Just give me the SG special with an RD body.

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

This. Also didn't feel like checking but does this have the creepy robot tuners too?

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

Nickel would look badass.
More scale is best scale.

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