goblin Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Surplus to requirements now as was bought as a backup 5er, and I've ended up recently acquiring the FNA which is the new backup, and this has just been living in it's case since. It's only been used for two gigs, and it's pretty much immaculate. There are some slight scratches on the back which don't even come up in the photos, it has it's plastic protection over the control plate still. It may as well be new! It's a Yamaha RBX765a in the translucent blue finish and gold hardware, it looks more turquoise to be honest but Yamaha say it's blue! The body is Alder / Ash veneer with a maple neck and rosewood board. 5 strings with quite nice spacing. It's not like a broadneck, but it's definitely not as narrow as things like Ibanez and Fender. Controls are vol, blend, treble cut / boost and bass cut / boost (active bass). I'm after £250 for it, I'm in Rochdale but I'm willing to post at buyer's expense if required. PM for more details / sensible offers [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Bass%20gear%20for%20sale/P1011916_zps4yuifrgu.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Bass%20gear%20for%20sale/P1011914_zpsunwzshzl.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Bass%20gear%20for%20sale/P1011918_zpspl8vjqsi.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Bass%20gear%20for%20sale/P1011912_zpslbculxkz.jpg.html"][/url] Edited April 7, 2016 by goblin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblin Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sorry for the late responses guys, it's 34" scale, I'll pop it on the scales shortly and let you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I always remember these being in ads on the back of guitar magazines in about 1999 and thinking "one day!" They really are pretty bass, nice design. A friend had a green one recently and it was like very to play. I work in Rochdale too. Bugger. I would love it, but I'm in sell mode as I've already got two basses incoming, well, 3 if I count the jazz bass bits I'll be assembling once they all arrive. Good luck with the sale - great pictures too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I had an RBXJM1 for a while and really miss it sometimes! Make no mistake, very good quality instruments these are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
