Thanks!

Sure made its muscle obvious yesterday at band practice! The bass player (5 string bass) tried it and swore that he won't be getting a 6 string bass anytime in the future! Loved the low end though!

Pretty comfortable, especially if you're used to 7 strings. Fretboard's really wide though, so if you don't have big hands (like me), thumb muting will be difficult. But you can always use your first index (problem solved).

Very cool, I may have to bite the bullet and get one of these.

Thank you guys! I did some string height adjustments and the low end came out a lot clearer (without the buzz of the factory setting)!

That looks great. I've been tempted to pick up an RGA-8, but then I keep remembering how much the neck on my old RG2228 gave me severe pains. Damn my feeble hands!

Congrats tho dude :metal:

Actually rising, as the government raised the VAT from 19 to 23%. Bought it online from Germany though and got a better price.
