Sold to a very nice French fellow bassist I met this afternoon. 😊

Yamaha RBX 6JM John Myung Ruby Red from the 14th of September 1999, now fitted with a way better Glockenklang 3 bands preamp (the original Yamaha preamp will be delivered, but I have no idea if it's working) and a second John Myung signature on the body, which is clear coated, so unremovable! A Dream Theater fan must have bass, but for the others, it's an excellent very heavy bass (5.220 kilos) with a narrower strings spacing at the bridge (16.5 mm) and very very very slightly protruding frets (these 3 facts are well known for this early series alongside the fact that the center of the infinity inlay is at the ... 13th fret, go figure). NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €750 EUR (£645 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. In perfect working order and in good to to very good condition, with the usual marks at the usual places, but almost no fret wear. Here are the specifications : Body: alder Top: figured maple veneer with a second John Myung signature under the clear coat, so unremovable Neck: bolt-on 3 pieces hard maple Fingerboard: ebony with infinity inlay (radius 23-5/8" or 600 mm) Positions: 24 medium frets with front infinity inlay and side white dots Headstock: 3+3 with John Myung signature Tuners: original Yamaha (Gotoh GB7) Pickups: 2 original Yamaha AlNiCo stacked humbuckers (very Jazz Bass sounding) Controls: volume (active/passive push-pull), blend, bass, mids, treble (tone control in passive mode) Preamp: Glockenklang 3 bands (the original Yamaha preamp will be delivered, but I have no idea if it's working) Bridge: original Yamaha solid brass Strings spacing at bridge: 16.5 mm Nut: bone (50mm width) Strings spacing at nut: 9 mm Knobs: original Yamaha (metal) Scale: 35 inches (889 mm) Hardware colour: gold with Schaller Strap-Locks buttons on the bass Truss rods: two, double action, 100% functional Finish: gloss Ruby Red Country of origin: Taiwan Serial number: PP14025 Year: 14/09/1999 (first generation of the RBX 6JM) Weight: 5.220 kg! Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2.0 mm under the B string at 24th position (can even go lower, but was more than perfect for me and it's already super low with a very straight neck) and yes this is measured at the SECOND OCTAVE!!! Will be delivered in an used unknown brand semi-rigid gig bag (totally adapted to this bass). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has received a new battery and is fitted with a set of used DR Black Beauties BKB6-30 round wound stainless steel coated strings (30 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 125), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is good to to very good with the usual marks at the usual places, but almost no fret wear. Here is the link to the 18 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Tm5VaOy3sxcU8nnu1CnheOU25VwSio0L?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendonitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
