The K.Yairi YB-13E is one of the rarest Japanese-made acoustic basses.
Featuring a coral rosewood body, a deep-toned coral rosewood top and back, and a mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard, this instrument naturally produces the airy quality characteristic of acoustic basses along with a rich, full-bodied mid-to-low range.

The body offers the lightness typical of a hollow-body design while still producing a resonant, full-bodied tone. When played through a line output, the FISHMAN Prefix Pro preamp refines the tone’s definition, resulting in a well-balanced sound that’s easy to work with in real-world bass-playing situations.

When played acoustically, the woody, soft attack isn’t overly prominent, resulting in a tone that blends well in acoustic ensembles or home recording environments. When played through a line output, it offers a stable dynamic range and the flexibility to adjust its character depending on the situation.
There is some plating wear on the tuning peg posts. A hole has been drilled near the end of the fingerboard on the low-string side.
There are some minor scuffs, but no particularly noticeable scratches.
