YAMAHA SB-500S MIJ Bass with original hard case
Got another SB-500S. It has the original Yamaha hard case.
This model made by Yamaha between 1979-82. Yamaha also started the famous BB series.
Both of them were Yamaha original designed. Many Japanese professional players used these series.
SB series are 2 pick up type. Maybe, Yamaha put the concept like J-Bass.
BB was like P-Bass at the beginning. (One by one, these model changed same series...as BB)
The difference between SB-500 and SB-700 is body material. SB-700 is alder body and inlays.
SB-500 has Nato body. The hardware is same specification.
There are not many scratches and dents. It is better looking than other my stock.
The frets were a bit worn, but still O.K. and the neck is fine.
The sound, pretty much like Jazz Bass. But the neck is like PB. It is pretty thick with 44 mm nut width.
Nato body is providing us a heavy bottom tone with total weight 4.37Kg
The knobs are not original.
It can be used for heavy bottom Rock !!!
This bass is 30-32 years old bass. The body is dried very much.
We are going to ship this bass with Yamaha original hardcase.
Please try JV Yamaha Bass!
