(Including new Strings,  perfect Intonation, truss rod adjustment and low action) Read Our Feedback and Rest Assured, The Dude Abides!

Here is a super nice sounding and smooth playing Yamaha Broad Bass VI that is in excellent condition for its age and dialed in/ready to rock. It has a nice alder body, maple neck and dark rosewood fretboard. It is very similar to a Precision Bass and has a very simplistic overall design. It has a cool offset body that blends classic with modern in a very unique way. The space-aged shape is very ergonomic and the neck is a standard P-bass type with easy access to the higher frets. The bass has a killer sound and the pickups are hot and articulate. Tone wise they sound somewhere between P- and J- bass. The tonality of the bass is punchy, bright and clear with very distinct mids. This monster would make the perfect companion for a gigging or studio musician.

As with any instrument that is fun to play and hard to put down there are some scattered dings, dents, scuffs and scratches, but nothing major and certainly nothing that takes away from the killer vibe. Now is your chance to put this vintage Yamaha in your hands and step into your next musical adventure. 

FEATURES:

  • Body: Alder
  • Neck: Maple with rosewood fretboard, 32" short scale

(Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping.

It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand.
