That's gorgeous! Never seen one with a single humbucker like that. =)

The plan now is to have the TRB 5ii using roundwound. The previous owner installed Aguilar OBP 3 and runs on 18v. I will like to set up and service this new acquisition and then test it at a band practice and gig ...
Yammies seem to be an addictive thing!

Here's a relatively obscure Yammy model for yah!
Picked this up the other day from Kijiji. Seller inherited the bass from his recently passed father.
Fun little bass to play. It'll be interesting to see audience reaction (if any haha!) when I gig this thing!

I'm jealous. Those are difficult to get, outside of Japan. One of my two main influences played one for awhile, before settling on vintage non-reverse thunderbirds.
Doing a google search, the only reference I could find was Vintage 60, which didn't seem right. Looks interesting, though.
Yah, it's a SBV500 alright! Pretty much the only reason I picked it up at the time, was indeed it's relative rarity. Once in my hands and set up properly, it's a great little bass!
P/u's are pretty darn strong for single coils. Both p/u's on full, it has a huge J-bass tone.
Bass is a re-issue of a 70's design, with this one built in 1990, based on serial number.

I can't give a straight comparison but the TRBX305 is a narrow neck compared to some 5 strings out there. It's a compound neck profile with the neck width thinner on the D-G side. It's very comfortable.
I posted this in the RBX club, but here it is again: RBXJM2x2 - my second John Myung signature 2 bass guitar! THE TWINS!
I picked up the second one Dec 31 from ebay - got it for a mere $400 + $40 shipping. YOWZUH!

My first base - still in the arsenal
Also my first post on the site!!!
Still love this thing - so versatile for a cheaper weapon and able to dial in really nice tone and detail with my Trace Elliot GP12SMX / Sovtek 4x10
The good old Yammy RBX765A

I had TWO of them at one time about 10 years ago. Best looking green bass ever. It'd kick with black hardware!
Agree - the finish is superb
And with my Trace Elliot head, I have a lot of that bright green going on ha ha
