ALL PICS AT BOTTOM. Gig bag now included. Not really open to trades unless you have a Squire VM bass in red with maple board (genuinely no other bass though, not even a "would you be interested in..." thanks ;-). I can post in a proper guitar box for £12 uninsured or about £17 insured.



BASED IN NORFOLK.


I use this bass at a weekly 3 hour practice as my other basses were hurting my back. It's a storming bass but I struggle with no fret markers (my main bass being a fender with maple neck). I only realised the other day that I rely on the fret markers so much it's causing me problems when playing. Yes, I know I can add fret markers, but it's also the maple board which I like too on the fender.

Lightweight bass (at 7lb, 3.2kg I am told) with excellent punchy sound. Passive, but it takes a battery for the light-up controls which dim as you turn them (weird..., but funky weird). Excellent condition.

Listen to it in action here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Ftime_continue%3D3%26v%3D47tKorh9vgo&h=4AQFmNjP7&enc=AZMWn6ts8BnmFlEI1RJMetJoVTn9MbLFn3G_cbmJvrvMrx6jUtwPNObcFaWc6YkQbDfxofri9ODqySE-xYFjSpT2T4XOEtE2hjPIyFhPecECOjsI_-TLea7-1IM5YJARKHesXLOdbU4V7qUgx1AlfA4vqrlbf9zE-TcLRl33Z9STUA&s=1"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=47tKorh9vgo[/url]

Whilst not a shortscale bass, it's not quite as long as a fender but still feels the same to me which is weird!

Here is Yamahas blurb.

Yamaha has shattered the "heavier-the-better" conventional wisdom with an advanced technology called Alternative Internal Resonance, or A.I.R. for short. A.I.R. combines lightweight and resonant softwoods sandwiched between harder tonewoods creating an instrument loaded with sustain and tone while maintaining an ultra lightweight construction.

The medium scale version of the RBX4A2 has an 825.5mm scale length that is 38.1mm shorter than the RBX4A2. Its compact body and neck offer excellent playability, while it's A.I.R. structure delivers light weight and superior comfort. Tone production is inherently A2-thick, clear, and punchy. The RBX4A2M is highly recommended for those with smaller physiques or for players pursuing technical playing styles or physically active performance.
