Decided to close the original thread because it was getting long and the 5 string was sold so...
Yamaha RBX760AII
Green translucent finish over an Ash top on an Alder body.
I bought this bass new around 2003-04 after falling in love with the way it played and sounded. Cost around 500 + change back then, and I've always said I would never sell it because it played so nicely and would be worth so much less in resale! But alas, I just don't play it anymore since I got my BB424X. Bathroom scale (3x tested) puts it at 8.5 lbs, and it's very comfy to play. With a wide padded strap, you won't feel it at all. Active electronics, Vol, Blend, Bass Treble. The neck is very solid, in the 8 or so years that I've had it, I've only had to adjust it a couple times to accommodate string gauge changes. Even when going between climates, no change was necessary. Hardly any marks (I take good care of my instruments!), but there is a small gouge on the back that looks like a BB sized bit of buckle rash. Not sure how it got there, I almost always wear a shirt over my belt!
