I can tell already, I'll be the only one who thinks this is cool.
But come on, it's cool.

So has anyone ever played/heard one of these? I'd be really curious.

[muthafunkabass]

i actually thats pretty cool lookin. but proably cuz im listening to purple haze right now. sucks that you cant even sitdown with it.

[Az_Holl]

The headstock looks like they whipped it off a hockey stick...and that bridge is just plain nasty.

For shame yamaha.

[ebe9]

looks hideous to me.

have not heard it before.

[basgitarist]

I think it looks pretty cool aswell. It's a shame it looks badly maintained. The thing is incredibly dirty

[Led_Zeppelin678]

They're pretty popular on TB...check the Yamaha Appreciation Thread.

Ironically it's in the 60s, because that looks like an amputated Vietnam veteran.

[Psychopsilocybin]

putting a serial number on the fretboard, that's a great idea :thumb:

Is it just me or are the strings not all there in one of the pictures?

They are all there, hes just pulled them apart to show whatever he was showing.

[BassIsPrettyCool]

I agree with everyone who says this bass is hideous.

or is it because the screw looks dirty since its on a clean saddle? and vice versa with the dirty saddles?
