I had a red one of these for about 20 years: lovely to play.

It's a great bass...If it doesn't sell I'll probably keep it! Really nice sound and works pretty well with the high C!!

A couple of my friends had these when I was a teenager and I really wanted one! Ended up picking up a demo MkI TRB6 (amazing instrument, still have and love it), but never got to scratch this itch!

I've got a red one. The EQ is very usable and doesn't overpower on any setting, has great tones in all positions. One for sale 'in Camden' at £475 currently so this is a good price.

I had a red one as my first decent fiver. A great bass, which is still going strong in a beautifully defretted state courtesy of Mr Shuker. Yamaha basses offer near unbeatable VFM in my opinion. GLWTS.

This was my first 5'er too and is an excellent bass. I think as I've grown more accustomed to tighter string spacing this one is just sitting in a case. It's a shame for it be unused so time to move it on!!

Anyone in the market for one of these? A cracking instrument...needs to be played!!

[Delberthot]

I also have a red one for when I need a 5 string. It must have been around this time last year when there were a few of us all trying to get the same bass. I didn't but managed to find one locally.

 

Surprised that this is still here.  They're fantastic basses for very little money

[MrT-Bass]

Accepting near offers if there’s anyone interested…!!

Still here…no interest at the time so I didn’t bump for a while.
I decided to reduce the price and let it go to someone who wanted to play it. Seems a shame to have it sitting here without being played.

Have you adapted the nut for E-C?

No, still the standard nut…I was just trying it out. Can easily be put back to a regular B to G string variant 😊
