For Sale (or Trade..) My Yamaha BBN5. Ive dated the Serial Number back to 1986, so thats how old this bad girl is. It started off in life as a miserable black 5 string that at some stage or other got taken to bits, attached with a sticker (and screwdriver) and then put in a box in someones attic. Until one day.. I bought her in bits, looking a right sad state, and then did the following; Stripped the black paint off (my own cost) Filled and sanded and reshaped her (at my own cost) Painted her flame red with flame red paint flake (£35 for paint, £18 for flake) Cleaned and polished the tuners and ferrules (at my own cost) Replaced the bridge with a genuine Yamaha direct replacement (£35) New nut (£5) New pots and wiring (£10) New knobs (£30) Original pickups (meaty and growly) I was planning on getting a MOP scratchplate for it, but never got round to getting one made, but ill include a .dxf drawing of a pickguard for anyone that wants one. [b]BAD POINT - the wood around the nut isnt great and the nut isnt glued in place - the bass is still playable (i play it most weekends) and its only a problem when you change the strings - a little bit of sandpaper and decent glue will be a permanent fix.[/b] So that without the cost of buying the bass is just over £120, not counting the time and effort taken to do all the work. Ill upload some better pictures of the actual bass tomorrow, but im looking for [b]£150[/b] for this bass, or a trade for another 5 string. In the mean time, there are some pictures of the Work In Progress..

Comes with fitted hardcase and strap. Thanks Mark

Yep, you are right there. Always gassed for one of these..will have to carry on gassing, but lets call this a cheeky bump.

Post it and ill take it.

WITHDRAWN. (thanks for your comments!)

Just to make things clear for all you lovely basschatters that have PM'd me, and anymore PM'ers - These are NOT NEW. They have been on at least one other bass to my memory, and were found in and amongst all my other spare bits and bobs. Ive stripped them down, given them a cracking clean, and they LOOK like new. Thanks!

God knows - you'd have to buy them and try.

Thank you! I was thinking about £25 inc postage as a rough guide, and am happy to take offers/sell around there.

thanks for moving it!

Withdrawn from sale

and once more. Although i suppose id better put a picture up. Hmm..

Bump again.

dont suppose you'd be after any kind of trade would you?

Bump - yours for £300.

Bump for the snowy weekend crowd. Price drop an' all

Hi! Due to losing the ever reliable gig van, I've got to downsize my rig. Ive got a Trace Elliot AH 150 SMC head (carpet covered) and the matching 1153 15" Speaker Cab. Both in amazing condition, and sounds fantastic.One slight problem is that there is one of the screw cap things on the head missing (you know - the caps that hide the screws on the top of the head) Anyone looking for one of these should already know how good they are! Ill post some pictures up probably Sunday (gig tomorrow). Can be heard on live recordings on www.the-inspired.co.uk Im looking for £350 for this rig (including power/speaker leads etc) but that wont include postage. Im based just off Junction 22 of the M1, and whatever junction it is for Ashby De La Zouch on the M42. If you have a similar sized/priced combo for sale then i will happily do a trade! Thanks, Mark

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1326557079' post='1498830'] Disagree, he should explain the full issues with the bass in the OP, I might put a Jazz bass up for sale later but fail to mention it has no pick ups. [/quote] Ill buy it!

BUMP = Bring Up My Post

NEW YEAR BUMP! Whatcha got for sale/for trade in these here parts?!

Hmm....tempting, but I dont like the idea of it. BUMP!

Thank you, sir!

So, as the title suggests... I have an AH150 SMC Trace Head (Carpet covered), and the matching 1153 15" Cab (again, carpet covered) All of the gear is in immaculate condition, all things considered - the only thing i can think of is that a screw cap cover is missing on the head, and there are some bash marks on the metal corners on the cab. We have lost use of our gig van so have to take all of our bands stuff in 3 cars, so im looking for a space saver really! Combo doesnt have to be Trace Elliot, but I value my stuff at between £250 - £350 (based on depreciation on my buying costs) so anything similar combo wise would be perfect - but not Ashdown. If i were to sell, I would take offers around £250. I am based in Coalville, Leicestershire - 5 mins from J22 of M1, or 10 mins from J11 (or 13 - cant remember!) of M42. Cheers Mark
