Machines Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 2003 Yamaha RBX775 in Flat Blue, defretted by myself. It sounds great as a fretless, but i'm just not using it Would be looking to swap for a fretted 5, any offers ? Here it is before I defretted, will get some proper pics later: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 First bump.. I suppose I could always get it refretted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn_day Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Is it still available? I've got a fretted 765...? Here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 If it isn't green then i'll think about it ! Got any pics at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn_day Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's blue-ish (then again, I am slightly colour blind!). I'll try and get some pictures up tonight. Only problem I had with it is the electronics were a bit noisy - only noticed when upgraded my amp to an EA iAmp. Then had the guys from Overwater service the bass, fix and shield all the electronics. Now plays nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 More like this colour ? Plus where do you live ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn_day Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's the same colour as in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7283"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7283[/url] (Although mine still has the frets!) I live in St Andrews (Scotland). Could we meet half-way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Unfortunately half-way would cost me about £50 in fuel on a return trip plus take a whole day from me. Since originally putting this up a few weeks ago, i'd decided to strip it down and revamp it. I wasn't expecting anyone to come with an offer so far after really. I think it might be unrealistic to go head with this, I certainly don't want to risk a courier (don't trust them) so we may have to leave this. Hey - what don't you get your RBX765 defretted anyway ? It'll sound the same as the 775 pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed a variety of different things being suggested from the cheap wood filler to the expensive custom cuts of wood. Regards, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Cheap wood filler from Homebase did it for me. You get a choice of shades too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobematt Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 you got any pics of the de fret job, would you consider a trade for a fretless dean 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've decided on keeping this bass indefinitely to be honest. It sounds great and there will be a time I do use it properly.. until then it'll sit where it is. Thanks for the offer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
