I picked up a used Yamaha SBV 500 recently, I've wanted one of these on and off ever since I became aware of them. Recently on the BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi has taken to playing an SGV 800 guitar and it really set the GAS off again. I had hoped to find an SBV J2 (double split P pickups, block inlays) but it was Japanese domestic issue only I believe. This 500 appeared on eBay and I don't have any basses with "Jazz like" pickups so I took a punt and got it for a keen price - cosmetically it has its flaws (mucho buckle rash in the back, some dings, some finish chips around the extremities) but it's solid and the neck's good. Sounds good to me and most surprisingly of all, it balances pretty well on the strap - I was expecting neck dive and got none (albeit with a wide, neoprene strap).
Anyway, enough waffle, pics or GTFO, right?
