There's a nice blue one on gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bbg5s-bass-guitar-5-string-in-excellent-condition/1409985180

Nick Smith aka @doctor_of_the_bass. If you need his phone number, let me know.

You are a font of knowledge. Don't know what I'd do without you. Cheers 🍻

The new BB615 with the BBG5S.

My BB615
-
The new BB615. Not sure about it yet.
-
It's in amazing condition. As far as I can see, this is the only damage.
-
The BB615 arrived today. Great range of tones, which I like but TBH I'm not sure about the body size. We must adapt.
-
The new BB615. Lots of knobs...
-
That looks really dry....possibly in need of oiling? I don't think I've seen Rosewood that grained....could be Laurel but I haven't seen that many Laurel fretboards. Helpful as ever...

For some easy listening while you're stuck in front of a screen... -
Obscure Musical Backwaters - The Great SGC Nanyo Thread
TheGreek replied to Happy Jack's topic in Bass Guitars
Looking at the bridges (the blue one has a high mass bridge) I would hazard a guess that the black and the pink ones are later models when manufacturing was moved away from Japan. -
BB615 just arrived ...it's nasty outside so I'll wait till the weather clears up before getting some photos done.. I contacted Yamaha customer service about the truss rod issue. Their rep spoke to their luthier who confirmed a couple of washers would resolve the issue and they're putting some in the post.

Obscure Musical Backwaters - The Great SGC Nanyo Thread
TheGreek replied to Happy Jack's topic in Bass Guitars
Hey Pete I'd love to hear how good the Nordstrand sounds if you think it's an improvement. I'm more than happy with the standard Nanyo parts but if the upgrade is worthwhile I would consider doing it myself. Any sound clips?? -
A certain Mr McCartney might paraphrase you to say " I'm a real nowhere man..."
-
There's a seller on eBay selling these in a multitude of colours.
-
One of these...
-
Can anybody tell me what the model numbers mean? For instance are the lower numbers "lesser" models? Are the 615/625 upgrades on the 415/425?
-
Locked all my 4s away and persevered with 5ers. Not as much fun as 4 strings but I think I'm being more creative using more octaves.
-
The grey 615 is the same as the one I've just bought...
-
I sold my Overwater Custom before buying it back - then sold it again for the same reason I sold it originally - I wasn't using it. Amazing bass - needs to be played. I also bought back a Nanyo SGC 310 - not because I needed it but because I felt it needed to be in a good home - MINE!
-
For me it wouldn't be as black and white - there are lots of shades of grey available. The money you'd spend on a "real" US Fender would give you the choice of lots of other basses....and you'd get change. Can I suggest you shop around and try a few other basses.
-
Yes...there abouts
-
I've got the same 4 track - allows the use of a drum machine into the same amp.
-
I've used my TE heads with a pair of Schroeder Mini8L - not suggesting you get these but there is a very nice Schroeder 1210 for sale here: If it's anything like the Mini8L, which I have no reason to doubt, it would be a good buy at £175.
