The Rivehead Jerk Series was first released in 1985. The term "Jerk" roughly translates to "with a twist" which can clearly be seen in the design of this awesome bass guitar. This Bass sounds great, and has a sound of its own. We have been unable to date this guitar, the serial is 002681 which is pretty low. We have seen other RMC-700 dates to 1987 so we would guess it was built between 1985 and 1987. Riverhead is believed to have ceased operations in the late 1980s, around 1987 or 1988, when the demand for their unique, pointy guitar designs waned.
