I bought this beautiful bass new 2 months ago. This is the same model of bass that the legendary Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) uses, as well as his son Jack Bates uses in (Peter Hook & The Light, Smashing Pumpkins).
This bass has never been out of my home studio. It does have a few scuffs on the back from rubbing against my studio chair (please look at photos). I'm selling due to my love of my short scale basses. I've discovered that long scale basses just aren't for me. My loss is your gain on this awesome Yamaha bass!! Comes with a padded gig bag and the Yamaha manual & truss rod tool. Also, the bass comes with Dunlop Strap Locks on it. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you might have about the bass.
This bass comes from a Smoke-Free and Pet-Free studio environment. Please feel free to make a Reasonable offer. Shipping is 40.00 to Contiguous USA buyers only ( I do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii). Also, a buyer can pickup from me locally. Thanks for viewing my listing, and have a Nice Day!!
