I got this in a part-ex from Bass Direct in January (and I love it) but I've got my eye on something, so even though I'm losing a couple of hundred £ in two months it's got to go.

Alder body, fotoflame top, maple neck, rosewood f/b, 2 band eq. Comes with a slightly battered Fender hard case.

•Weight: 8lb 15oz/4.0kg

I have a 4 string BBG in the same finish, put some SPB-3's in it and it's stonking, totally worth £350.

 

Is it fotoflame ? Yeah probably, but you're not getting a 2cm highly figured AAA maple top on a low end Yamaha at this price.

What a beautiful bass. I ogled that on Bass Direct for weeks, then picked up a white sparkle one. I am totally impressed with mine, and I bet yours is wonderful too. GLWTS.

 

I bought a white pearlescent one based on how good my orange burst was. Seemed pointless having two of the same bass so I sold the OB and kept the white pearl. 

 

As is the way with Yamaha - you get a lot of bass for not a lot of money.

Nice and a great price. Can’t go wrong with Yamaha stuff, so well made. 
 

Does that have the same pickups/pre as the TRB’s?

Thanks. Totally agree.

 

Someone more edumacated in Yamaha's might be able to answer that :)

No it’s volume/blend/bass/treble

 

TRB has either a mid sweep or a 3 notch preset mid Control (depending on era) - also some TRB’s had a piezo control too.
