**SOLD** Yamaha MB-II (Medium Scale Passive) £220

[Sharkfinger]

Bought this recently from eBay (from Japan), because I fancied trying a medium scale (32") bass and this was going for a reasonable price, because it needed a minor repair. As you can see, it's not in the greatest of cosmetic condition but that didn't matter to me; I see inner beauty .

Nice tone, just not for me. Not into the dual humbucker thing it turns out, though I'm warming to the medium scale. This has a coil tap on a push/pull pot, so you can have it single coil, like a jazz as well. Controls are volume, blend and tone (with coil tap).

The bridge at one point had fine adjustment screws, probably, but there's no need for them. When I got it, it needed the coil tap replacing, so I had new strings and a setup as well. This was done by Chris Ward, of Bass Center fame. It plays like a dream.

This bass owes me £250 but l'm not realistically going to get that.

Trade for lightweight bass (around 7-9lbs would be ideal) or some really decent 2x10 or 2x12 cabs.

Bump. Make me an offer...

Gigged this at the weekend and it sounds fantastic.

Bump for big price drop. This is a lot of bass for the money, compact but sound huge.

I'm tempted at this price! I've been after a 32 scale for some time.

A question though, is it missing a strap button? I can't see how it would be worn.

Ah, well spotted! I pinched it temporarily for another bass but put it back now.
