1980's Yamaha Japan MBX Motion B Headless/Fretless Medium Scale Bass (Black)

1980's Yamaha Japan MBX Motion B Headless/Fretless Medium Scale Bass (Black)Made in Japan in the late 80's, the MBX model was only sold within Japan and was the headless variant of the Motion B series that also received a very amateur de fret at some stage (although it does the job). Nice compact body with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard, medium 820mm scale length with 24 frets and a 38mm bone nut, it weighs a reasonable 3. 6kg's. Looks to be all original in terms of hardware and electronics with the factory Yamaha

Weighs a very manageable 3

there's plenty of life left in the frets and the neck is straight with a fully functional truss rod

Has a small mahogany graft on the back as pictured that was professionally done

Dual locking "Rockin' Magic Pro II" Floyd Rose tremolo system and a HSH pickup configuration with a simple master volume control and 5-way toggle give this some simplicity

the EG-1000R was Greco's highest end regular production model at the time (with the EG1200 and EG1500 made as custom orders)

Good used condition as pictured with basic light signs of wear from general use

the Elite II was one of the highest end instruments in the 1984 catalog (although this one was made in early 1983

the frets have plenty of life and are shiny and smooth with only very slight playwear

Active treble/bass controls with a pickup balance and master volume knob for full control over the pair of bass humbuckers

Made in the mid 1980's
