Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a rare Yamaha Motion Bass MBIII Super Edition Short Scale Bass in striking Pearl White and featuring the great passive Yamaha "B-HEART III" pickups and a slinky 32.28" scale. 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 did you see the case? Cool vintage kit there. 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 Asian Slipper 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 dents as pictured. Finish fills, and a crack between the tuners as pictured. It remains in excellent playable condition with no dead spots or unwarranted buzzing and structural concerns.
Comes safely packed in the fitted Yamaha case in the photos that could be the actual original case.
