A very rare imported Yamaki Performer Bass, circa 1979 (Japan). Glossy one-piece solid maple neck, sunburst solid wood body, looks like one-piece ash with lovely deep grain. 3-ply black pickguard. Unique (Epochal) geared truss rod (neck is arrow straight), takes a standard allen key to adjust. 41mm nut. Weighs a back friendly 3.9kg. Built like a tank.

Made in the Yamaki factory, to the highest quality. These are of the same standard to Tokai (Hardpuncher), Greco or Squire JV instruments of the same vintage.

There isn’t much info online about these basses, so researching them doesn’t take long. But to summarise: The Yamaki factory made high quality Fender and Gibson bass and guitar copies between mid 70s and mid 80s. These were sold in the UK and Europe branded as JooDee or Daion. Yamaki guitars (Strat and Les Paul’s) get a lot of love, and sell for between £500-600.

In very good condition for a 40+ year old bass. Pickups are hot, punchy and growly. Everything is original afaik, and everything is fully working. Sounds great acoustically, a ton of sustain. A monster amplified.

Comes with hardcase. For sale only.

£295 including postage (to mainland UK only).
