I don't own a bass, but if I ever do it will almost certainly be an SR.I will never stop loving SR basses. There's just something about them! Currently have two in my collection
Sure enough, I opened the back cavity you are both indeed correct!
The one I sold was beaten pretty badly by the previous owner. The front looks great but the back and sides were dreadful. I had another from the same year in the same finish and with a tighter flame and in better condition, so that’s the one I played. I actually never played the one I sold except for when I tried it when buying it. It sat in its case for almost two years while the other got all the love.This site may earn a commission from merchant links like Ebay, Amazon, and others.
The AAs are weird for sure, lack of a door is not a deal breaker for me but at least yours has machine inserts! The plate on my new ATK has screws in wood. Luckily as long as you remember to unplug when you are done you should get at least a couple hundred hours out a battery(ies).Sure enough, I opened the back cavity you are both indeed correct!

Never seen anything other than 9v used on guitars and basses but that’s not a problem. However why oh god why would they not include a separate spring cavity for the battery. Hardly a deal breaker, but the separate cavity that doesn’t require me to have a screwdriver with me would have been a better design choice. Seems like they updated this for the SR5005, but I’ll live with it
Because I already have another RG3120 from the same year and in the same finish.
I also have the doom amber RG3120F, which is one of the best looking post-2002 Prestiges (if not THE best) they ever made.
