Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a rare version of Yamaha's Ultra modern Motion Bass series - the MBIII Super Edition in Pearl White.   The 32.28" medium scale and the passive proprietary JB/PB pickups give you all the tone you need.  You get 1 Balance, 1 Volume, and 1 Tone to dial in these articulate and responsive modern voiced pickups that can get down when they gotta.  Great pickups for slaps, thumps and pops.  And it's only 7.4 lbs, perfectly balanced and barely any play wear to speak of.  This is the Super Edition featuring a Basswood Body, Maple neck, Slab Rosewood Fretboard, and that funky "Ladybug" Headstock.  Very cool.  There's 24 medium frets in fantastic shape on a 9.84" radius.  No playability issues.  

The nut measures 1.50", neck depth is .86"-.95" at the 1st and 12th frets respectively.  It's a very nice medium C that should appeal to most folks.  The neck is straight, the truss rod turns in both directions, and the relief is currently set for optimum playability.  There are a few scratches, dings, and a paint fill as pictured.  A crack between the tuners as pictured.  It remains in excellent playable condition with no dead spots or unwarranted buzzing and structural concerns.
