sterling_76

and sold, thanks

I wondered which of these East preamps is mounted here? http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/u-retro.html I see three stacked pots, two toggles and one LED. The toggles are for pickup selector and for active/passive? Or is that serial/parallel toggle for the humbuckers? What is the purpose of the LED? Thanks for the details!

Hi, is it still available?

this ad goes up and the price goes down to [b]GBP 450[/b] :-)

The bass is in a very good shape. Beautiful sound. All parts are original. Only minor surface scratches and one more significant ding back on the neck (see photos, it is highlighted there!). Serial number 3Y19098 (for Yamaha serial numbers, see [url="http://www.yamaha.com/yamahaguitars/ElectricandBassGuitarSerialNumberSystems.pdf"]http://www.yamaha.co...mberSystems.pdf[/url]), so it was probably made between 1987-89.[list] [*]Body Ash [*]Neck Bolt-on, Satin Finish, Maple/Rosewood-24 frets [*]Electronics 2 Single Coil Yamaha Pickups, Master Volume, Balance, Bass and Treble active EQ [*]Hardware Low Mass, Black Hardware [*]Color Translucent Black [/list] [attachment=219738:1.jpg] [attachment=219739:2.jpg] [attachment=219740:3.jpg] [attachment=219741:4.jpg] [attachment=219742:5.jpg] [attachment=219743:krk.jpg] The bass is currently strung with 1 year-old EBS Titanium Nickels, but the sound is still quite defined. I can provide new D'Addario 045 Nickels. It is pretty good for slapping, has fast response. I recorded a sample using a looper when the strings were new. The equalizer was flat, no effects used, signal straight from the bass to the Zoom recorder: [attachment=219745:YamahaRBX1000.mp3] Possible trade for G&L (Tribute) L-2500. The bass is located in Pilsen, Czech Republic. I can ship at buyer's expense.

I take it, PM!

the fretboard is rosewood or ebony? can't tell from the pictures...
