Price massively reduced, I really need to free up cash, before holiday/Park festival season properly kicks off and I've got to play every day & night! Ah man... This is one of those 'I don't want to sell, but maybe need to' situations. This is my favourite bass I've owned. But, it's looking like I've been dealt early onset OA and need to get the lightest bass available or find another job! I'll double check, but this isn't heavy, it's about 9.5lbs, a shade over IIRC. It's currently the top of the line Yamaha BB, made in Japan. I bought it new from Yamaha London less than a year ago. It was the first in the UK I believe. It's alder/maple, has their newest lightweight hardware in a great satin finish. The bass is actually midnight blue, but tends to look more of a black in photos. It's string with D'Addario EXL170-5, as from the factory. It comes with a really plush hardcase too. It's passive, with VVT controls, but like with early BB's, the range if tones available is fantastic. It has 18mm string spacing, and the nicest neck I've played. I thought I liked a wide chunky neck on a bass, coming from a Sadowsky, but the Yamaha is something special. It's very comfortable and has a beautiful construction and matte feel. As I say, I'm not keen to let it go, but I'm struggling with my back/hips/knees... And this isn't even a heavy bass. Not looking for trades as I'm going to be looking at Sandberg Superlight series. I'm on the Isle of Wight, but Portsmouth/Southampton meet up is possible. Any specific photos/questions, please ask. Condition wise, there are no injuries to report. Neck and headstock remain completely as new, and there are no chips/dings/dents to be seen. The back of the body of the bass has some light swirling from my shirt buttons, but I couldn't pick it up in a photo.

Hi everyone , I'm selling my Xotic 5 string P bass. I ordered it new directly from Xotic through Bass Direct in 2016 , as it matched the spec I wanted . I used it sparingly on a tour I was on as I needed an authentic P bass sound , but haven't really used it since ( I've always been a Musicman player ) I had the bass set up by ex Sounds Great luthier Matt Ryan in Milnrow , who commented on the high build quality . The Xotic benefits from a push/pull active / passive master volume , a very transparent 3 band eq with master tone and luminova dots on the side of the neck that glow to help you out on dark stages / pits etc . The condition of the bass is 9.75 / 10.00 - The only marks I can see , are fine scratch marks on the scratch plate that were already on when I collected the bass - Hard to see on the photos and barely noticeable up close . Although I have hardly used the bass - I've used the gig bag a little - it's still in very good condition though . I'm not looking for any trades for this , and as I think I've priced it very competitively I'm not open to any offers . I'm looking for a UK sale only , and I would prefer the buyer to collect , although I'm open to discussing different delivery options . Thanks for taking a look . N

Yes, I'll trade it for £500 cash, lol. Sorry couldn't resist, I'm only after some cash tbh.

If I can find a buyer fir my BBP34 I will be all over this.

The question about the hardware was a valid one, since you had just stated a change in hardware colour to black by a previous owner, along with a link to the original ACG web page spec. Other brands of black hardware are available so how are BC members to know what has been fitted? You also posted the previous owner’s sale thread, in which it states that there is buckle rash and a dent, so again it was a valid question. I don’t understand how valid questions on a sale thread for a bass costing £900 constitutes a “crap” of your thread? i am not a time waster as my feedback on BC will show. I was actually genuinely interested in buying this bass, but I’m sure I’ll find something suitable from a less rude member.

Always in pursuit of certain tones... I've definitley racked up too many of these along the way. The 2x10 and 1x15 go on top of each other to make a great sounding stack. 4x10 was my personal favourite, real sweet on its own. Cash or trades considered, I'm based in Egham 5 min off M25, J13. I also travel around the UK quite a bit for gigs so worth an ask if you're not London-ish. Trade wise, mostly thinking basses. A nice fretless, Fender five strings, a Music Man or something with a juicy neck pickup. 104HF -£450 £400 £350 In good shape with a roqsolid cover. Bought from new, noticed the tweeter doesn't work but never bothered to send it back as I always liked how this one sounded- all 4x10 speakers and cab is in great shape. I put a black speaker cloth in front of the grill to mask the orange cones, can easily be removed. 4 ohms, Made in Indonesia. 102HF - £300 In good shape, everything works and sounds just as it should. 8 ohms, Made in Italy. 151P - £320 Traveller cab, very close to new shape. Barely been used. 8 ohms, Made in Indonesia. Would sell the 2x10 and 1x15 together for £580

For sale or trade beautiful Ibanez Volo bass Btb 33" scale and 17mm string spacing, with tipical E-C configuration. Comes with soft case. I can consider offer for straight sale or trade.
