NOW SOLD- much thanks, please delete.

(someone is extremely happyđŸ€—đŸ˜‰)
It does not look like your usual 605 model because....

*DiMarzio JJ pickups

*EMG p/bass pickup

*East UK Uni-Pre active electronics.

*Custom made rosewood scratch plate to accommodate the pickups.

This was put together to use on travel gigs where I need a professional/reliable/flexible instrument and sound without taking an expensive instrument (damn you airlines!!).

Slap, fast/fluid/finger style Jazz, p-bass thump and all the in between styles readily available on this beauty!

In great condition (small nick on the headstock) with few but not obvious or large marks. With chrome hardware! (Updated pics).

 The switch is a ‘kill’ switch. I use it as a mute to avoid any unwanted ‘accidents’ live.

Gig bag included.

 

Yamaha Specs:

Nathan East Sculpted Body Design

Solid Alder Body

5-String Maple Neck

Rosewood Fingerboard

24 Frets, 34” scale.

Neck width 45mm at the nut and 75mm at the last fret.

18mm string spacing at bridge.

Collection from Aylesbury preferred or can post to UK.

Feel free to ask away for any more info.

Unusual and interesting mod! How are the pickups selected/switched/blended? What is the exact weight please and can you double check the string spacing which I think might be 19mm. Thanks.

With the original bridge which it has it's 18mm spacing, can't remember the weight of mine but it was not a heavy Bass by any means!

Bass Wielder will no doubt explain his selector switch function?

Somehow I agree🧐

Pickups are blended with dual blends. One for between the P and JJ and one for between the JJ set. Thus you can have the in-between tones...

Weight I don’t know (no scale at the moment)...but in comparison to my other basses, quite light and comfortable for long periods (a big part of the reason I chose for the road). 
String spacing is 18mm.
