mihangle Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) On offer here is a lightweight Yamaha RBX A2. The only thing that put me off these bases was the lack of inlays on the neck, so I had a luthier fit abalone dots. I bought the bass from a follow basschatter for £225, and spent £100 on the neck. I also added a Fender original (plastic!) thumbrest. So looking to get back what I spent on it. Usual light marks commensurate with use, including a small ding on the inside of the top cutaway, not readily visible. One of the hinges of the 9v battery holder is broken, but it still keeps the battery in place. It's not an active bass - the battery is only for the LEDs on the dials. I thought this was a gimmick, but is actually quite useful when playing live, a glance at the brightness of the LED shows how much is dialed in. Can post for £16.50. Has recent set of flatwounds on, decent quality, can't remember if they are La Bella or D'Addario. Will consider trade for a Precision or Yamaha BB. Thanks for looking.

therealting Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Someone's going to pop along and ask how much it weighs (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 These are pretty lightweight - but the addition of the abalone dots will have increased the weight I would imagine Nice bass though - had the 5-string version for a while and was very happy with what it could do, just didn't get on with 5-strings...

mihangle Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 the inlay dots don't weigh much more than a few full stops .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Maybe more like[b] . . . . : . . . .[/b] I generally like the "clean" fretboard on these Yamahas, but yours looks really nice with the abalone dots. My Yamaha GAS has been (temporarily) cured with the purchase of an old RBX1000. Edited July 27, 2017 by anzoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
