5 hrs drive but worth it. My first ever Yamaha product. A TRB JP1. Fixed action and intonation first then played it some. It needs new strings but sounds great already, very articulate. Neck profile is nice and thin. So far I am really impressed with it.

Being mainly a five string player, I am amazed by how easy the thing plays with a massive fretboard such as this.
Just ordered a pack of Fodera strings for it which will arrive on wed-thu.
Must say the bass is pretty heavy but that's to be expected.

I've owned a few of these over the years, they are (in my humble opinion) the very best 'stock' 6 string bass out there. And for what it's worth, I truly believe they are better than the series II version of these. 

Excellent choice! If you decide to sell it, give me a shout!

New strings. Turned out the old string were some form of 'light' gauge and after throwing on the Fodera strings I had to adjust the dual truss rods.
No biggie, just need to take some time to let the neck settle after turning the rods. Did some fine tuning this morning and the action is perfect and low again. Just the bass sounds even better with regular gauge strings.

I have owned the bass since last weekend and am quickly learning to love it. This thing is just great!

The colours in that last photo are different then the previous ones because this was taken with a Nikon DSLR instead of a smartphone.
Didn't do anything with contrast or light in photoshop, only reduced the size of the image.
