Paul_C Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'd be surprised if it was particularly rare though, yellow was one of the three colours sold in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've never understood why someone trying to sell a decent musical instrument would choose to show just a single crap, out-of-focus photograph and not even supply a link to any of the myriad free photo-hosting sites he could use if he wants to minimise his eBay listing fees. At least show [b][i]several [/i][/b]crap, out-of-focus photographs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 They're nice basses - I had an original '68 in a sort of Pelham Blue on loan to me for a while. Really loud and punchy, nice neck, 32" scale is nice too. I've seen reissues recently hit £500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='676305' date='Dec 6 2009, 11:26 PM'][/quote] I'm sure a couple of years back, someone on here had a bright yellow SBV, "Wayned" with black & white chequerboard stripes. I've got a blue one (formerly part of Paul C's legendary collection) and it's great. It'll be even better when I finally get around to making it a pink pearloid scratchplate. Edit - Blue one just like mine on Fleabay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-Yamaha-SBV-500-Bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ230408698047"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-Yamaha-SBV-500-...emZ230408698047[/url] Jon.

I seem to recall you had about 14 of them, including the lovely Miki Furokawa sig. I had a blue SBV500 for a while, they're decent sounding well-made and unusual basses and this one looks as though it will go for next to nothing.
