Hi everyone and thanks a lot for replying! So, I currently own a Jolana D bass from 1987 made in Czech Republic, which is a a copy of the Rickembacker 4003. I love this bass, but is quite big, so I was thinking about getting a short scale to pair it with. I found some new Godin or Fender Mustang that sound and look great, but I’m I’m a bit bored by these “new instrumets” (I’m sure you knwo what I mean), so I saw this post of a Yamato SG from the 70’s and got interested.
I spent the last hours doing some research and as @EddieJones wrote it seems as it was produced by Tombo, along with other brands. I checked the other brands produced by Tombo and I found out that they basically made the same bass with “Columbus” ( I attached a picture of both so you can see). Apart from that, no big review or information on Yamato, I also tried to check some Japanese website but I just found that is probably made of plywood and that the quality was varying a lot over the years.
The Yamato in the picture is actually the one I will try
At this point I cant wait to try the bass next week!
