Yamaha Pulser 400 £450 Radlett

[david1711]

Serial 009474 so likely date of manufacture 1978/9?
40mm at nut, 20 frets, 4kg, spring spacing 19mm.

Strung with heavy flats.

A number of dings, the worst of which (by far) is indicated. The light blue is a reflection!

All original. All in working order including the truss rod. Very little fret wear. The neck is in super condition although there are a few marks on the headstock.
Unbelievable neck on these, as others on this forum have said. 
Now with padded gig bag added. No trades.

 

Now £425 excluding all shipping.

That is a bargain 👍

These are excellent basses, I have a 79’ sunburst original and it simply sings! 
if I had the funds I would have this one too …

That’s a dead ringer for my ‘73 Precision!

Anyone out there who's looking for a 70's Precision without paying Fender prices, do yourself a favour and buy this. It's Yamaha (say no more), but also built like a tank, playable, toneful, and lovely to look at 👍

+1 to that, Chris... 

 

I had the pleasure of meeting David at the weekend and having a play on this gorgeous Yamaha bass of his. 

 

The neck is absolutely stunning - straight and true, and a joy to play on. 

 

What's more, the bass sounds lovely too... Especially so because it's got a passive tone control that does what it's supposed to; you can get a nice bright and clear tone (think of the opening to The Eagles 'One of these Nights'), right through to that phat, rounded Motown tone with just a quick twist of the tone knob. Gorgeous! 

 

But the thing that surprised me most about this bass is how lightweight it is - which is quite something for an Ash body.. 

 

Anyway, suffice to say, it's an absolute bargain as you said Chris.

 

Proper 'old skool' P Bass goodness and quality, for not much money at all when compared to vintage Fenders of the same era. 

 

GLWTS David 👍😊
