loweringthetone Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) These are FAB !! Ive had one and they are very high quality instruments. They were Yam's top 5 stringer back then, superbly built, and everything was top notch from the quilted maple to the ebony fingerboard to the NE preamp which gives a range of good tones. Not a raw rock bass but does smooth pure and sophisticated in spades. Lovely smooth finished fingerboard, I found mine an absolute delight to play. PS Youve got some nasty looking dings on the fence there........nothing too much on the bass though. PPS have I earnt my pint yet ?
