Plusnine Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Here for sale is one of the most unique basses Iāve ever owned, a Yamaha SBV 500 from (I believe) 1998.Ā Ā Itās an absolutely fantastic Yamaha jazz style bass, with a pretty wide range of sounds available. Iāve mostly used it for recording since Iāve owned it and itās given me no issues whatsoever.Ā Ā In terms of condition, the bass has no issues at all, a few very minor bumps as youād expect from an older instrument like this, but overall itās in rather great shape.Ā Ā The only things of note are the lack of headstock logo which has rubbed off, as well as a small outline of a faded sticker that was once on the scratch plate, before I purchased the bass.Ā As for the logo, Iāve purchased a like-for-like decal of the original which I have yet to add on, but Iām happy to include as part of the price.Ā Ā For the sticker mark, Iāve not attempted to try and do anything with it as it doesnāt bother me personally, but custom scratch plates are available if youād like to get something pristine.Ā Ā Itās served me really well since Iāve had it, but Iām looking to move on to something like a Stingray or similar, so Iām looking to raise some funds. At time of posting, I believe thereās only one other for sale in the UK, as I had to get this shipped over from Japan. Happy to negotiate within reason on price. Iāll also throw in a gig bag at no extra cost. Ā Iām based in Haywards Heath, and Iād be happy to post at buyerās expense and risk - but an in-person delivery (within a 40-ish mile radius with some extra fuel money) or collection would be preferred!Ā Ā Iāve tried to photograph any potential scratches but please let me know if youād like more photos! Ā Thanks for looking Ā Edited April 6 by Plusnine sold 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I always like the look of these but they're far too cool for me. There's not a hope in hell I could pull it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plusnine Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 (edited) @Jono BoltonĀ never say never! It definitely gets a lot of conversation at gigs I've played, mostly from other bassists wanting to know what on Earth it is š Edited April 2 by Plusnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
