£280 including UK mainland delivery or £250 if you prefer to collect from Stoke-on-Trent. Yes, I'm asking the higher end of what these tend go for but it really is one of the nicest examples I've played. It has zero issues, fresh strings and other than a little evidence of use (remember it's 24 years old) with slightly tarnished gold hardware, is in very good condition throughout. If you collect in person, you're welcome to try it through any of the amps at the studio - I'm confident you'll not be disappointed.

A truly lovely example of one of these Taiwanese built, Yamaha basses that's clearly been well cared for during it's life. Some claim these are better built and spec'd than their newer replacements, the RBX775 although I've no experience with those models - YMMV.

I bought this from our lovely online community just over 12 months ago and whilst it's a great guitar, a few months later, I managed to bag a 5-string Status from a local music shop. I couldn't resist the Status as they're such a distinct and incredible instrument not to mention, I really missed my old one. As such, the Yamaha has sadly seen very little use since. 😐
