Samurai, at last
ilan:
Just bought this yesterday from a friend who got it off eBay two months ago, but now has a better use for the money towards a vintage Fender Rhoads. So, meet my new c.1966-68 Yamaha SB-5A "Samurai bass" in pearl white.
Basvarken:
Nice score! Congrats
Pilgrim:
Very classy!
morrow:
You got an original! I have a yellow reissue , they’re 34 instead of 32.
A friend described them to me as being like a Jazz bass on steroids. And they are. I think of them as a Japanese surf bass. I like mine a lot. They’re also kind of shaped like an upside down Ric. But the body is much rounder. Congratulations … they are fun things.
Dave W:
Nice! And better than a Fender Rhodes.
