In very clean condition for its age and one of the nicest playing basses we have in the shop! Body shows some very light surface marks\/scratches and a couple minor dings\/chips, but otherwise is incredibly clean for a 38 year old instrument. Neck shows a small ding behind the 15th fret but it does not affect playability and otherwise neck is in excellent condition. Headstock shows some very light surface marks and a very small chip on the top edge but otherwise is very clean. Fretboard is in excellent condition and frets show very little wear with tons of life in them. Hardware shows a light amount of aging but is overall in fantastic shape considering its age. Electronics work great and features a \"Balancer\" control instead of a pickup selector switch allowing you to blend the pickups in any amount desired. Features a set of medium - high output (about 10k each) single coils that sound incredible! A super cool and funky Bass from Yamaha that plays like a dream! Absolutely one of our shop favorites right now. Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes gig bag.

While often associated with the late 1980s (around 1986–1988), Yamaha's official production serialization dates these limited anniversary builds precisely to 1986, marking two decades since the 1966 debut of the original surf-rock instruments designed with legend Takeshi Terauchi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eThe \"Blue Jeans\" Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: The original 1960s guitars were famously nicknamed the \"Blue Jeans Custom\" after Terauchi's instrumental surf band, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem class=\"eujQNb\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eTakeshi Terauchi \u0026amp; Blue Jeans\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
