Ha... 6 is enough! More than enough.. But this may give me the chance to try something different

TRADED PENDING Hi people, I recently got my hands on this via a part ex/trade deal. Let me start by expressing how fantastic this bass is... Great tonal pallet, not heavy for a 6, lovely neck and very reasonaly priced (Yamaha's current retail is £1075, and this is A LOT of bass for the money)! Perfect bass for anyone into 6 strings. There are a number of dinks in the body, a few near the jack, one on the upper horn, a chip to the side of the headstock and a scrape on behind the bridge where the B string is. As such I would described this as very well gigged, but in fantastic condition for such! The bass has had a full clean in and out, a good lem-oiling of the fretboard, all the knobs replaced with metal ones (original ones included also), strap pins replaced with Schaller style pins (again original ones also included) and the switches cleaned, the back of the neck has been lightly sanded so it is smooth as glass (has a natural wood feel rather than a varnished one) and has just had a brand new set of Overwater Lightweight Nickels added. Action is low with no buzz to my pressure of playing... Only reason I'm trading is that I have 2 custom 6ers on the way and this was to be my stand in fretted until they arrive... I have since found that I'm using fretless for everything, and my Roscoe fits that bill. As such I'm not desperate to get rid but if I get an interesting offer I may give it a shot... Basically I'm using it as my chance to try something new, or it stays. What I'm after... Pretty much consider any bass trades. This is a stand in until my RIM and GB's are finished and I realise I can survive with anything of moderate quality. For the time being I must be a 5 or more stings (although all consider nice luthier or Warwick 4's). Failing that try me. I'm looking for something worth about the same or a little less new (around the 1k mark). Try me Pics... A few pics taken when I set it up (no strings, all cleaned, fret board conditioned)... PM me with any question, offers etc... Shep

Big bump… Am open to offers. Would love to sell this over the weekend so I can snag the Octavius Squeezer thats going… Still open to trades. Perfect pedal for the overdrive and fuzz lover to add that extra layer of aggression your fuzz tone when you need it most :-)

(Desperately trying to find a way to afford the Octavius Squeezer!!!) -bump-

Bump on the Mid Booster & George L's Trades/Part ex on… Envelope Filters Fuzz Pedals But more than anything... A Boss SYB-5! The smaller the better! Happy to put cash your way! Shep This post has been edited by pantherairsoft: May 25 2010, 05:49 PM

These are fantastic 6 stringers. I just picked one up as a clean up project to last me until my GB and RIM 6'ers are complete… but I think I'll be keeping it. For the money being asked you will not be disappointed. Truly great basses! For those that don't know, these still appear to exactly the same build spec in the current Yamaha retail catalogue for £1075!!! Buy this now!

Blimey! I remember wanting this a year ago! And I still do...

I still have huge GAS for this bass… have a bump!
