For sale here is a lovely example of Nathan East's first signature bass. These were only made for a few years in the mid 90s and this particular model dates from 1995.
It is a truly extraordinary instrument and absolutely no expense was spared by Yamaha in the construction of these basses. The woods are all top quality (especially the stunning ebony fretboard!) The quilted maple top obviously catches the eye as well.
The sound of this bass is very focused and (as you would expect from Nathan East) sounds incredible in both live and studio mixes. It's a surprisingly aggressive sound on it's own which really cuts through. Actually one of the best sounding basses with a plectrum I have ever played! The ebony board gives it a lovely top end snap for slap bass work as well.
The bass is in fine condition for its age with the exception. As you might expect from a 27 year old bass, the gold hardware is a little tarnished but looks phenomenal from a distance.
Here are the specs:
Body: Alder
Top: Quilted Maple
Neck: 3 piece Maple (roughly D shape)
Fretboard; Ebony (with MOP inlays)
EQ: 2 band (B,T) with adjustable Mids in cavity. Nathan East EQ preset (one of the pots is 3 position. 2 positions are Mid 1 and Mid 2, the third is Nathan's own preset EQ)
Weight: 4.2kg (9.25lb)
