It’s NBD, my 604 showed up a day early, around Christmas shipping at that.

Straight out of the box, It’s pretty.

After spending an hour swapping strings and doing a setup, 12 thou for the truss rod on the 7th fret since Yamaha didn’t specify a measurement in the manual and 2.7 to 3 mm on the strings as specified, then intonation.

It seems to play well for what I know at 1/2 way through the BtoB, no fret buzzing, sounds really good and clean. It is LIGHT compared to my Sterling Ray 4, When I picked the box up off the porch I though they forgot to ship half of it. :slight_smile: The bathroom scale says it adds 8.3 pounds to my weight when I hold it.

One of my favorite things about my 604. Light as a feather but still amazing full tone.

Congrats! The black one is gorgeous. I love the subtle blues and greys in the black.

Two years ago I brought a truckload of stuff back from Arizona to Texas in working through my brother’s estate. This came back in pieces but I just couldn’t part with it. I had it put back together and when faced with the question of should I sell it or should I learn how to play it. Well, here I am…

I feel like I should recognize that cool headstock but I don’t. What kind of bass is that? It’s pretty!
