Looks like a Yamaha SB series bass.

I think its a 1968 Yamaha SB5a.

It's a Yamaha SBV-550. They were from the lates 90's early 2000's. Good sounding basses.

It's not an SBV-550. Check the pickup position and the pickup types, they're wrong. TimothyTheThird is right, it's an SB5a.

yep... good luck trying to get even an SBV nowadays...if you even think an SB5a would just show up on an EBay listing... keep dreamin' kid because these basses, no matter how cool they are are as rare as rocking horse turds!!
