NOW SOLD YAMAHA BB605 5-STRING BASS with Nathan East EQ - Superb Condition
Location Wyre Piddle, Near Pershore, Worcester area
I bought this second hand two years ago and absolutely love the tone and build, but found that my stubby fingers struggle with the 5 string format. I liked it so much that I have now bought a BB604 (exactly the same model in 4 string version), which is now my main bass. I believe these were made around 2002 and had then, and still have, great reviews (Google BB-604 or BB-605 reviews)

I do now have 4 basses, and one (possibly two) need to go and since I can't see my fingers getting longer, this one is the first to leave.
When I got it, it was clear that it had been very well looked after and is still in almost perfect condition apart from a little surface corrosion on the bridge, which could probably be polished off but I didn't dare try (you can see in the photos).

I have restrung it with Fender Medium Wire Wound Strings.
I would prefer collection and can be flexible about arrangements e.g. meeting, or you can arrange collection (I'll help if possible). I can ship, but it would need to be in a hard case and I could add a well worn hard case for £30 for the purpose.
