funkyspuke Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Hello BC's I'm selling my Yahama RBX375 (black 5 string) bass guitar only because I'm getting a brand spanking new 5'er in 2012 looking for £180 and that will cover delivery (I was going to put it in a hard case, however the bass I'm getting doesn't come with one ... so it's just going to be a soft case. It will be packed and boxed securely though). It also comes with the Alan Keys to adjust the action and neck. I may also consider trades, depending on what's offered. [b] RBX 375 Features:[/b][list] [*]Alder body [*]Maple neck [*]Rosewood fingerboard [*]High-output humbuckers [*]Pickup blend [*]2-band active EQ [/list] I purchased this only a few months ago as a starter / introduction to 5'ers. I wasn't expecting to get such an active bass for what I paid (£285 from my local guitar shop). it's light weight, easy to play and kicks out more sound and power than my Valenti (so maybe it's a 5 string Valenti I'm getting ) ... I am 100% confident that had I bought any of the other bass that were on sale at that price, I wouldn't have made the change to 5er's. I have replaced the hum-bucking pups with some Yamaha modified P bass pups (they are more like jazz pick ups to be honest). I got these from geoffbyrne here on BC and they really make a difference to the sound .. taken it to the next level even! it's in cracking condition and I has never been gigged .. only used it for a rehearsal and a recording session. there is a circular mark and scratch on the head stock which happened whilst putting on a dodgy batch of DR strings causing me to (somehow) scratch the paint??? but you can't notice this until you are really close up. it's just under the string on the head shot. anyone who wants to get into 5er's or wants a decent back up bass, then this is for you! I'm based in Bradford if anyone fancies coming along and having a look. Edited January 9, 2012 by funkyspuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyspuke Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I would also consider a trade for a decent(ish) 4 string ... might consider a little extra cash my way for something interesting or even a nice lightweight cab?

funkyspuke Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've had a couple of offers .. but just not quite there! remember, this bass is only 5/6 months old and I've fitted some amazing modified precision pick ups. for £180 you are getting one cracking bass!
