Hi There!
I´m selling my Yamaha BB300. It has been professionally modified by the previous owner and is an awesome bass now.
here is the whole story about the bass: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=0#entry1146594"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=0#entry1146594[/url]
The maple neck also has a super beautiful grain, a bit "birdseye"-like.
the p-pickup is reversed as you can see in the pics, and the E/A section is in the original spot where
Leo put it in his days
the D/G section is closer to the neck (which sound absolutely great!), because it would have
crossed with the MM-pickup.
the MM pickup is in the original "sweetspot" too.
it has an active "NOLL" 2band eq (awesome german manufactor) and a push/pull Volume knob.
there are two 3-position switches. the first one selects the pickups (neck only, neck and bridge, bridge only)
the second one selects the mode of the MM-humbucker (parallel, singlecoil, series)
with this switching you get 7 different sounds, which are all very usefull!
here is a list of modifications:
-replaced the old tuners with SANDBERG tuners.
-replaced the bridge with a SANDBERG bridge.
-put the original yamaha P-pickup in new shells
-put a DELANO MM ALNICO humbucker in it (MC4)
-added a NOLL EQ (treble and bass)
-the input jack moved to the side
-a batterycompartment was installed
-added a hipshot stringtree
-made a custom shaped pickguard (inspired by the stingray 5)
-routing, shielding etc.
Hit hurts me to sell this one, but I have a massive Pink Paisley GAS at the moment.
Looking for around 400,- pounds.
