Here it is....
Any info much appreciated. It was my 1st bass, sounds great but is really heavy and not so practical for a long gig...
serial number is 1804208...
I have it in the shop getting set up at the moment cos it needed some love. Nearly imposible to find a cast that fits though.

The basics look a lot like Henry's Blazer without a pickguard, but I think it's an RS900NT.
The fitting case: RSB-C ($115.- in 1980).
I've no picture, sorry.

It's got the good pickup on it, like Henry's and my Blazer alright.

Your welcome. This looks like another RS900, only in dark finish:
