Yamaha SA-70 SA Bass MIJ 1967-72 w/OHSC ***STUNNING*** in Original 'Pearl Marine Blue' ***VERY RARE***

YAMAHA SA-70 VINTAGE JAPAN SEMI-ACOUSTIC BASS

****VERY RARE *** 'PEARL MARINE BLUE'  w/OHSC (1967-72)

Exceptionally rare metallic 'Pearl Marine Blue' SA-70 bass.

Fantastic to play and sounds superb. 

Condition-wise...

Overall, very good. Close to excellent.

Some minor blemishes to the head and body (see photos) but it's in lovely shape all round.

Binding are all very clean. Neck is superb.

Fretboard is in lovely shape, frets are good with plenty of life. 

Just back from a full pro setup. It's now even more stunning. We just replaced the pots and fitted a new nut.

All-original hardware, pickups, guard, bridge etc. Even has the old mute foam.

Everything works smoothly inside and out. Tuners are smooth & positive and the overhauled electrics are faultless. 

Strings are new.

The Original Yamaha vintage case is a bit tatty but no major damage and the hinges and catches work. It's done its job and can continue to do so.

In Summary...

This is a highly collectable & very rare bass in great condition with its original hard case.

Professionally set up and ready to go.

It plays beautifully, fingering and intonation are great. It sounds just as stunning as it looks.

Original Hard Case (pictured) included.

A Note On Shipping:

We want you to be fully satisfied with everything - from the item itself (naturally!) through the shipping, packaging, communication etc.

Of course there is nothing we can do about customs duty, local taxes etc at your end. But we can keep the overall price as competitive as is decently possible.

The Japan post office service (EMS) is reliable and efficient but shipping costs from Japan to Europe or the states are unavoidably expensive.

For this reason none of the shipping costs we quote reflect the actual price we have to pay. We are more than willing to take a hit on that to make things as attractive for you as possible.

Vintage Instruments & Equipment

Shipping by air plus climatic changes can affect how a guitar is set up - no matter how well it is packed. Consequently there is no guarantee that an instrument arrives with exactly the same set up as stated. After a period of acclimatisation, you may still need to make any adjustments at your own expense.
