I was just wondering how much it was worth?
It has a wonderful tone!
Mine has been defretted has anyone else got one?

I apparently have an RS800 which is a natural finish long neck sucker with two battery-powered pick ups...I think it was made circa 1980 and I remember paying $275 (canadian) for it at a pawn shop sometime about 1986 or so...

I like it because I like finger slap on my runs once in a while and because it plays and can sound a lot like my old Rickenbacker ...adjusting the sound on the pickups can be a pain sometimes though, I often find it too high end or too muffled.....though that's because I play in a cover band and we're often switching sounds a lot to cover the material.....anyone have any idea what this instrument is worth for insurance purposes?.

Further to my post....I have now discovered it's a 1980 RS920....valued at between US$300 and US$600...anyone have any experiences with this instrument and can validate the price?

Hello
Just bought a roadster RS900 or RS9??, it is original fretless, not defretted, from a guy who didn't know what he had at all (heard that before), for 100 Euro, case included,
unbelievable a great stroke of luck. It is near mintshape with a very nice color dark brown i say almost near purple? The sound is amazing. Can anyone tell if it is a rare (vintage?) model,it was build in 1979. I am not used to play fretless,so is it worth it to fret te neck? or leave it in original state.
many thanks Ton
