Aguilar Super Double pickups and OBP-2 pre-amps are said to bring an added mid-range focus to the tonality here and additional features for these basses include Gotoh GB-350 tuners, an aluminium locking bridge and chrome hardware. 

The Euro RST basses also come with a padded Spector branded gigbag.
