1980s Yamaha MB-III Motion Bass Black

Sleek and futuristic, this bass looks like it stepped off the set of a sci-fi movie!

It's always fun to encounter an instrument where from a surface glance is definitely tied to a particular decade. Sporting its model name on the body of the instrument, this example would have been made sometime during the late 1980s. Composed of an alder body with maple neck and rosewood fretboard, these possess a more condensed 32" medium scale in tandem with a fretboard radius of 12". Despite its presentation, it's a fairly straightforward example with passive pickups as well as volume controls for each pickup as well as a master tone control. Punchy and with plenty of spank, this example is definitively '80s in both tone and presentation!

Cosmetic condition is good for its age, showing signs of wear in the form of scratches and dings throughout. Hardware is fully functional, and plays with a low-medium action. No case or gig bag included.
