    Yeah it looks like an RB650. To me the neck looks like Precision width... I'm sure you could confirm this with a search. I certainly wouldn't pay €500 for it though.

    The higher end RB's from the 80's are much nicer, look for one of those.

    The Musician series is another to check out, the designation is MC. I played an MC888 a while back that was awesome. Thick creamy bass tones.....mmmm....

    hey thanks for the input. appreciated
    thought the same about the neck myself but havin googled a few pics they kinda look the same, might be worth a punt upto say €300 maybe??

    oh how easy it would be if i could just find a nice jazz bass!! predictable i know but never had one and want!!
    playing a sr200 for the last 4/5 years (my second bass awwwww) but want something of an upgrade.

    reviews of rb650 seem ok online tho, will i wont i?


    as a quick aside, how bout buyin some little cheap bass n just puttin something like a set of seymour duncan pu's in it? good/bad/heresy???
