Yamaha SBV-500 Flying Samurai - MIT - 2000s - Sonic Blue
A killer bass that is becoming more and more of a rare find nowadays, these discontinued Flying Samurai’s are consistently awesome instruments. This particular bass is a Taiwanese-made model made in the 2000s.
With its contemporary retro look with a bold and bright Sonic Blue finish, this bass is sure to leave an immediate impression. It features a reverse-cutaway alder body, balances a treat on the strap, while the slim maple neck and rosewood fretboard.
The two single-coil pickups absolutely rip. They sound awesome with serious, serious thump to every note. This package is awesome; every time we get one of these in, guitar or bass, they don’t tend to stick around very long.
In mint condition with no fretware whatsoever, only some tiny bumps of the bottom of the body. This bass has received a full setup prior to its listing. Comes with its original gig-bag.
