SOLD - Yamaha RBX4A2M - Medium Scale - Price Drop! - £180 Collected / £200 shipped £200

[benebass]

Hi - my white Yamaha RBX4A2M with a rare medium scale (32.5") neck is up for sale. I'd describe it as a modern take on a Jazz & it's it's incredibly light compared to most other basses I've had. The bass is completely passive, but takes a battery for the light-up controls if that's your thing (leave the battery out & it works fine with no lights). Condition is very good - a couple of minor dings on the back, but everything else is fine. Really nice low action & punchy sound too - the shorter neck makes playing a breeze & it doesn't have that loss of tone that some shorter scales suffer from. I'm looking for £180 cash / collected in Newcastle upon Tyne. Will ship for £200 but will have to take the neck off to do it as there's no hard case (that's how it was sent to me & it was no problem - just needed to screw the neck on & restring).

Sorry you didn't get on with it B - fine little bass and I had quite a bit of interest in it so it shouldn't hang around for too long.

For anyone considering this bass Benebass is great to do business with.

Bump - could now do this with a Fender gig bag for the same price. Here's a vid of the full-size version being reviewed by Ed Friedland: -

Bump for price drop...

Excuse my ignorance but does medium scale mean that it's shorter than something like a jazz or a precision?

Yes - it's 32.5" scale rather than the Fender 34" standard (short scale usually means around 30"). I discovered medium scales a while ago & that's all I play now - I find them much more comfy on the left hand.

If you want a rough idea of what a medium scale is like, tune a standard bass a semitone down & put a capo on the first fret. Everything's just that bit easier to reach!

Now sold - cheers!
