Bassassin

Big Yam SG fan - many of my 80s guitar heroes (Adamson, McGeoch etc) were Yamaha players, and I always wanted one.

Not 100% sure but I think Yamaha stopped production in the late 80s, probably because more traditional guitars like these were selling less well in favour of SuperStrat types. There have been a few short-lived/limited reissues but these have tended to be very expensive, and not particularly accurate to the original specs or designs.

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to get hold of an SG1500 (which was always my favourite model, aesthetically) for a really silly-bargain price. It's gorgeous!

And as for where they all went - if you've been in the market for one, it appears a guy in the North-East has most of them - and at his prices, he'll be keeping them!

What it says in the title! Just had a cursory look at the posts here & I'm sure I can't see s single name  I don't know from BC!

Anyway, as I'm currently not a gigging bassist & am spending more of my time reminding myself how guitarded I am, thought I'd have a look around.

Might try & sell a couple of 80s MIJ guitars while I'm at it...
