Yamaha BX-1 Vintage Synthesizer EMG Mod Used

Key Features

Product Description:

Introducing the Yamaha BX-1, a legendary bass guitar that made its debut as the flagship model in Yamaha's 1985 catalog, marking the dawn of a new era for the brand. Following its release, Yamaha continued to expand its lineup with models like SFX, Session, and MB, solidifying the 1980s as a defining period for Yamaha's innovative approach. The BX-1 was particularly popular among domestic artists and is considered an iconic, experimental model that stood out among traditional staples like SG and BB series.

This particular BX-1 features an upgraded EMG pickup, delivering a clear, active sound characteristic of modern basses. The instrument shows minor signs of use, including slight scratches, some tarnishing or rust on metal parts, and a few small dings. The truss rod functions well in both forward and backward adjustments, with the neck nearly straight after adjustment. The frets are still in excellent condition, ensuring smooth playability. The nut has been replaced, and the instrument weighs approximately 3kg.

Please note that images focus on visible damage, and minor imperfections may not be fully captured. The item has been inspected prior to listing, but minor changes may occur during final inspection after purchase. No additional accessories are included unless specified.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Yamaha's innovative history with the BX-1!
