My first, current and only bass is an old RBX550-M that I picked up at a local second hand store, it being the only one I could afford. I love it to pieces. Did a serial search, was manufactured around 1987 I believe so it's about as old as me. Tone wise it rips up most other cheap basses I've heard, and I just love the way it feels - slimmer neck, low action, and just damn comfortable. Won't be upgrading any time soon.

I just bought an RBX550-M second hand for £90/$130 - nice bass and well worth the money I spent.

The maple board is a nice touch

Really like the Yamaha's, 4 of my 7 basses are Yamaha. All left handed 5 strings, 3 BBN5LII and one TRB5, flat fret board (high radius) makes it easier to get low action.

Yamaha BB605 has been my main player for years. I did just buy a Geddy Lee...

I have one old Yamaha BB1000. Someone replaced the original Yamaha pickup with a Dimarzio or something similiar. The tuners were also changed which is kind of a drag since I think I prefer the originals. Would rather have had the original pickup as well.

In the past I've owned 3 BB5000's and a BB2000. Loved them all.

That's nice, Yamaha did some really cool s/burst's back then too.

RBX775 and a late 70s BB800. The BB is my main bass. I just got the RBX and I don't think I love 5 string basses...
