YAMAHA SB-500S MIJ Bass
I love Yamaha SB series, specially bolt-on neck type for myself.
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 many scratches and dents. I must say it looks not really great.
It should be the Player condition. Over 30 years old bass. Well, It is
still good condition as vintage bass.
The frets and neck are still O.K.
The sound, pretty much like Jazz Bass. But the neck is like PB. It is pretty
thick with 43.7mm nut width.
Nato body is providing us a heavy bottom tone with total weight 4.28Kg
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 used Gig Bag.
Please try JV Precision Bass!
