pluckedout Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) In over 20 years of buying and selling guitars I have never seen another one of these; it was featured in the Yamaha catalogue in 1985 ([url="http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/yamaha/1985/en_index.html"]http://brochures.yok...5/en_index.html[/url]) and was only available for a matter of months. Through neck construction, ebony fingerboard and the 2 best coil-tappable humbuckers Yamaha ever made - no idea why these didn't continue. The original push-push knobs have been replaced with push-pull ones as they wouldn't stay in the down position (a common fault with push-push knobs). The original knobs are included though if you fancy trying to fix them. Bass is in amazing condition, 9/10 I would say - just a few minor marks which are impossible to photograph. Plays really well and has a superb sound - all passive, real thump to it with the humbuckers, very little fretwear. Will come with a tribal planet gigbag - would really prefer meeting up to hand over the bass but will ship if absolutely necessary. Looking for [b]£600 [/b]for this rare beast.
