Kawai Model RB865A For Sale

5-string bolt on neck bass.

Unlike prior Kawai bolt-on neck basses, the RB865A featured a neck slot that extended deeper into the body and a pitched headstock. The deeper neck slot provided better neck stability and the the pitched headstock eliminated the use of string trees. The body is Ash and the neck is Maple with a 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard. The bridge is a gold Schaller 3-D5. The RB865 pickups are a Kawai design J-Bass type with an active circuit . The RAC-100 active circuit provides for a ±18dB bass cut and boost and a ±12dB treble cut and boost. The RB865A was available in a Natural finish, Trans Red, Pearl White and Black. The black is pictured.

	Plays and sounds great with the active electronics and Schaller bridge.
	The body and neck have quite a few small, circular pits from the previous owner that can be seen in this photo. They are not visible from a few feet away. None of these effect the playability of the bass
