Paul_C Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) The last one for sale from The Collection of 16 similar basses, it appears these are no longer in production. Comes with a fitted gig bag, the weirdest looking thing you're likely to see Fitted with P and J passive pickups, it's still very loud, and weighs only 8 1/2 lbs. All the SBVs have (IMHO) nice comfortable necks, and it's surprisingly well balanced considering the shape. Imported from Japan by myself, it's spent most of the time hanging on the wall, and as such is virtually unplayed. £375. Edited October 30, 2007 by Paul_C

Merton Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Christ I need some money, I saw one of these being played just before Christmas and fell in love with it, it is a fine example you have there!
Paul_C Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 £325 or I keep it (before eventually putting it on ebay )
Merton Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Paul, (I may regret this but...) I hope to have some cash in a week or so and I should (hope to) have enough spare for this little baby. I'll keep you informed! Mert
Paul_C Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) I'm looking for cash really, unless I get an offer that gives me something : a ) better b ) easier to sell P. Edited October 30, 2007 by Paul_C
wotnwhy Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 sorry to take this (slightly) off topic, but that american T!T introducing them in the 3rd video makes me want to shoot myself in the foot* *after of course, doing something to him!

BigRedX Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Damn! How did I miss this? Supercar were just brilliant - Highvision is one of my all-time favourite albums, plus I realy like those Yamaha Basses and you had the Miki signature model... If by any chance the sale falls through I'll take it....
