[quote name='lancer' timestamp='1421423844' post='2661065'] Nice demo, a pity you didn't show us some b string action [/quote] +1 Good sounding bass, nice playing too... GLWTS!

I used to have the 70's KSD 5 string some years back (this one is the 60's model).. Bought it direct from Bernie Goodfellow and it was a very nice bass.. GLWTS!

Cool looking bass, Owen; how does it sound? Shame to let something so individual go, but what 'GAS' wants, 'GAS' usually gets! GLWTS

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1417781700' post='2623935'] Wow. [/quote] +1 Very cool looking bass... GLWTS

I used to have one of these, so this brings back a few memories.. Built like a tank but as you say, they sound fabulous as a result! No need for one now as I have too many cabs already, but it'd match up nicely with my H&K BassBase 600, that's for sure.. Anyway, GLWTS

Good question; i was thinking the same thing about whether there's a shim already in the neck.. If there isn't, then it could solve the neck relief/lower action issues quite nicely. Cool looking bass by the way and GLWTS!

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1417423150' post='2620071'] These are such good basses. Practically giving it away. Hope it goes to a good home - would have had it myself but I am really trying to be good. The fact that I have hovered over these images for a good five minutes, makes me think I am not cured yet. Good luck. Cheers. [/quote] +1

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1417260710' post='2618610'] My old one weighed in at 4.8 kilos. Sounds heavy but it's not when it's on. One of the most comfortable and well balanced basses I'd ever owned. They are the ultimate 5 string unless you want to spend double the money. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] +1 GLWTS

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1416420881' post='2610062'] I love mine. [/quote] Me too! I can't believe what this little unit has to offer.. The amp sims are really cool - especially the GK800, the Markbass and the Aguilar. But there's also a couple of really useful pre-amps as well. On top of that, the compressors are really good - the dbx160 clone is so good I'm not using my real dbx compressor! Just for those features alone, it's fantastic, but there's the tuner, drum machine and looper to make it even more indispensable. And it's a lot of fun too. Worth a lot more than the asking price IMHO.

BUMP!

BUMP

Don't see many Lag basses on here so this is a bit of a treat! Looks really nicely made with good features and hardware.. A lot of quality for a fair price. GLWTS!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1415990312' post='2605938'] Hi Nik Good to hear from you mate, hope all's well? Decided to get the electronic doobry out for this and results are below (not entirely sure where spacing should be measured so have given three options) Centre B to centre E string at tailpiece 18.10mm [attachment=176356:IMG_3468.jpg] Outside of G string to outside of D string at saddle 18.63mm [attachment=176357:IMG_3471.jpg] Centre to centre of G to D string at saddle 17.44mm [attachment=176358:IMG_3479.jpg] And I have just reweighed the bass and sorry to those of you who PM'd asking me to do so, it is still 5kg. I was wondering whether the scales were crap so weighed the TRB6, which is far bigger (56mm at the nut and 20mm spacing), but that weighed in at 4.3kgs. The vagaries of wood I guess I will say that I don't find the fiver heavy (it's certainly lighter than my old Wal which I really had to grapple with. Having said this I do own a mid 70's Strat that weighs in at 4.3 kgs, the same as the TRB6, so perhaps I'm just a real man [/quote] Hi Chris I'm good thanks; hope you are too? That string spacing sounds more like it to me, and certainly a more comfortable fit for a larger group of players on here I would have thought. Looks like a very, very nice bass to my eyes; Yamaha make such understated high quality gear that they probably don't get as much praise as they should! Nik

Great looking bass Chris; GLWTS! Quick question - is the string spacing really 17mm at the bridge? I though that Yamaha 5s were generally 19mm at the bridge - certainly the two I've had over the last 10 years have been.. Nik
