Price reduced to £240 Weight added - 8lb 2oz/3.68kg A bit sad to be making this listing. This was my first ever bass. I've owned it for 26 years. Mummy and Daddy bought it for me when I was 13. But it's got to go. So...... This Yamaha RBX800A was made on the 14th of July 1988, in Taiwan. Body is ash, nice light weight. I recall weighing it some years ago and it was around the 8lb mark. I'm going to order some scales today if anyone is particularly picky about weight. Rosewood fingerboard with pearl dots. Frets are in good shape. The neck profile is lovely (if you like slim necks) measuring 20.2mm at the nut end and 23.7mm at the 12th fret. It's 40mm wide at the nut. For me, it's one of the most comfortable necks I've ever played. Controls are volume, blend, treble and bass. It has a 9V preamp and the pickups are active too, so it needs a battery at all times. There's no passive mode. The finish is Pearl White. There are numerous small marks and surface scratches and a couple of little chips, the worst being around the headstock as pictured, but nothing major. It's in good shape for a 32 year old bass. The tuners are not original, being chrome Ibanez replacements. These were put on before I owned it. There are two saddle lock screws missing The original manual is present, along with the silver plastic trim piece which goes on the headstock. These were attached with double sided tape and I removed mine as I thought it looked better. It's wearing new D'addario round wounds (45 - 100) and has a fresh 9v battery. These were top of the line in their day and it's shocking that they're not worth a little bit more. I guess that's largely down to the pointy headstock. It's a lot of bass for the money. It's comfortable to wear and play and sounds good. It was a really great introduction to bass playing for me and would make a fantastic first instrument for someone. Or maybe you're in a White Zombie tribute band. £240. Collection preferred, from Colne Lancashire. Socially distanced of course. I'm expecting some packaging to arrive shortly though, so should be able to post soon.

Here's a Santellan Sounds Elek-Trix solderless wiring harness for single pickup basses. Unused. Sadly no longer made. This is a dual capacitor model. The tone knob is push/pull, selecting between two different capacitors, each one having one of 15 different capacitance values to choose from using the micro switch thingies. I bought two of these. This one has sat in my parts drawer but the other has been on my P-bass for eight years, done over a thousand gigs and I've never had any issues with it. Sounds great. I was fannying around a lot with different pickups when I first bought my current Precision (cheers Karlfer) and obviously the solderless system is great for that.

Thanks for the correction, zvirus. I copied and pasted from the wrong Thomann ad.

Hi, thanks for bringing this up. I hadn’t given it a thought. Yes, I have activated the license. I’m looking in to how to transfer it. Looks like it might have to be put onto a usb dongle. Hoped I’d just be able to unregister it.
