Yamaha RBX775 Fretless - possible trades.. ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

2003 Yamaha RBX775 in Flat Blue, defretted by myself. It sounds great as a fretless, but i'm just not using it :)

Would be looking to swap for a fretted 5, any offers ?

Here it is before I defretted, will get some proper pics later:

It's blue-ish (then again, I am slightly colour blind!). I'll try and get some pictures up tonight.

Only problem I had with it is the electronics were a bit noisy - only noticed when upgraded my amp to an EA iAmp. Then had the guys from Overwater service the bass, fix and shield all the electronics. Now plays nicely.

It's the same colour as in

(Although mine still has the frets!)

I live in St Andrews (Scotland). Could we meet half-way?

Unfortunately half-way would cost me about £50 in fuel on a return trip plus take a whole day from me.

Since originally putting this up a few weeks ago, i'd decided to strip it down and revamp it. I wasn't expecting anyone to come with an offer so far after really. I think it might be unrealistic to go head with this, I certainly don't want to risk a courier (don't trust them) so we may have to leave this.

Hey - what don't you get your RBX765 defretted anyway ? It'll sound the same as the 775 pretty much.

I think I might have to do that - was just being a wuss in case I damaged the neck.

What did you use to fill in the neck? I've noticed a variety of different things being suggested from the cheap wood filler to the expensive custom cuts of wood.

I've decided on keeping this bass indefinitely to be honest. It sounds great and there will be a time I do use it properly.. until then it'll sit where it is. Thanks for the offer though.
