I've had this bass for a while now, I don't know what model it is though. I know it's a Yamaha. that's pretty obvious.

That would be an RBX375.








Actually I have no friggin clue, but it sounded good!

I would think it is from the RBX series, or perhaps just before they were called RBX.

lol ok, I was thinking it was a BB something, because that was the only series I found on their site that was clear-coated maple. But you're probably right with the RBX, for all I know this might be 10-15 years old. Thx.:thanks5qx:

Looks to me like it is a 2 or 3 piece body. Are you sure it wasn't refinished at some point in it's life?

It's a 3 piece body, and It was not refinished.
It has their little "quality yamaha bass" stamp on it

nice. I've always liked natural wood.

I still think it's an RBX of some description or a precursor to that name.

I posted on the talkbass forums, I'm hoping that at least one of their 52 000 members knows what it is.
