Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:21:31 +0000 http://stuff.nothingmatters.co.uk/?p=418#comment-127 Hi Paul, that is the 550 I have, I thought the fretboard may have dried out a little because it's quite pale and was uplayed for a few years (until I got it), seems it was like this when you imported it? I find it quite a light SBV too, it sounds great. Any info on the 550 would be welcome Paul, I know that it was made in 2002, how did it end up in Wales and what is the difference with the pots? Cheers.

So if you pick up an unusual variant there's a good chance I owned it at one time :O) I used to own 16 of them at one time – 6 SBV500s – 4 SBV550s – 1 SBV800MF – 1 SBV-J1 – 1 SBVJ2 – 2 SB-5As – 1 (probable) SB-7A (which looked slightly different to the one on the Yamaha website, because it had an angled headstock and no string tree).

Sun, 09 May 2010 16:17:44 +0000 http://stuff.nothingmatters.co.uk/?p=418#comment-112 Yes, that's the one! I've been looking for a 550 for ages and it was only a 20 mile pickup (sorry about that but I see you already have a 550 so don't be too sore! ; ) Yes, a nice bonus is that colour (though I would have bought any one) I haven't seen too many in Seafoam, I've found playing those basses always gets a lot of interest on it's look and more so it's sound, they will get harder to find because they are so very easy to like! Very cool look, very cool sound! Yes, that’s the one!

I wanted that! ;) Saw it on ebay the other day and was thinking of making a bid. It's a lovely looking bass and that colour is really unusual. Hope you enjoy it. Dam YOU!!!! I wanted that! ;)

Fri, 07 May 2010 12:43:35 +0000 http://stuff.nothingmatters.co.uk/?p=418#comment-110 I have 2 of these (a 500 in red bought around 6 years ago and I recently scored a 550 in seafoam green which had been sat unplayed in a cupboard for years!) I see the 500 for sale now and again but the 550 was very hard to find in the U.K.(after 6 years looking!) I think they are beautiful, they sound and play so well and have so much character, the pickup's are hotter than any other passive bass I've played and the neck is Jazz-like nimble, I've been playing professionally for 25 years and have been through Wal, Musicman, Jaydee, Warwick, Fender but none has made me smile and keep coming back as much as the SBV!
