P-T-P

***Really would like to sell this as seen just what I want so open to cash offers or part-ex with decent wedge of cash my way*** Love this bass to bits but I kinda fancy a bit of a change as I’m almost always playing 5 string lately. Some Yamaha blurb: “For the bassist that won't settle for anything less than the best, the Pro lineup represents the pinnacle of everything the BB designers have sought to achieve over four decades of striving for perfection. Carefully crafted one at a time by a select team of master artisans at Yamaha's headquarters in Japan, and featuring a unique Alder/Maple/Alder laminated construction finished with Yamaha's proprietary IRA (initial response acceleration) technology, the Pro BB offers a rich, organic tone and incomparable resonance and playability—this is the bass that you've always dreamed off.” To be fair it’s a top notch bit of kit. Superbly made and with a delicious range of tones to dial in, the bass plays beautifully. Comes with the Yamaha case and the case candy. Would happily swap for a P35 or consider trades or part-ex for any of the following: - Lakland 55-02 or DJ5 - Sandberg California II 5 - Yamaha 1024/5x or 734a/735a or TRB 5 - Fender post-2008 USA Jazz/Precision (PJ? Adam Clayton? Geddy?) - Lakland DJ4 or 44-64 PJ - MusicMan StingRay 4/5 Maybe others, I’m more into the traditional type basses but been a long time since I played a Status, for example, so you never know. I’m in Chepstow, happy to meet up to compete a deal. Potentially could courier at buyers expense.

Looking to move my gorgeous Aztec Gold Lakland J-Sonic 5. Superb condition with just one significant scratch on the rear (see pic) which occurred a wee while after most of these pics were taken. Ridiculously low action on this and extremely well set-up, wearing a fresh set of D’Addario nickel wound, string through body. Sound-wise think passive jazz but with a smidge of p-bass thump. It sits really well in a live mix, just enough cut without being harsh or losing the beefiness. I’ve just kinda fallen out of love with it a bit since finding 4 string love again. Open to cash offers near the asking price and we can talk about possibly shipping it if you’ll cover the cost. Would definitely consider a swap or part-ex deal with cash either way depending on what you’ve got to sell, particularly interested in: Fender P or J (or even PJ) 4 Lakland 4 or 5 Yamaha BB1024/1025x Yamaha BB P34 or P35 Yamaha BB 734a or 735a Sandberg California II Warwick Streamer poss. Musicman StingRay 4/5 I am a sucker for a pretty paint colour and also maple fretboards so hit me up. PM me or txt/call 07515929935 Pete

Have had this amp for a couple of years now and it is absolutely phenomenal. The power stage is pretty straightforward. It can be used to deliver 1000w to an 8 ohm load in bridged mode or in stereo mode 2 x 500w at 4 ohm; 2 x 300w at 8 ohm. It carries a choice of solid state and valve amps from the MarkBass range as well as some classic all of which can be quickly accessed through the dedicated solid state, tube and vintage buttons. Whichever amp you select, the front panel gain and EQ behave as you'd expect them to. Additional features of the particular amp, for example the VLE and VLF filters are set via the controls to the right of the screen. It's here too you can select the speaker models to use (if any), and again there are a nice selection available from the MarkBass range. It's there also that you get to set-up your effects, with up to 8 slots available (two of which default to the amp and speaker, but these can be changed). There are 20+ effects you can deploy in any order you see fit, these include all the usual suspects: overdrive, distortion, chorus, delay, reverb filter, auto-wah, compression, synth etc. and all are fully adjustable for their various parameters. You can control all of this using the MIDI pedalboard and you can do so in a couple of different ways: either using the board to turn on/off the 8 effects currently loaded or you can save a patch or a song and then use the board to select the patch. There's also a built-in tuner and DI out. I've gigged this amp for the past few years and it is exceptional. I sent the DI to the desk and had a cab (or two) behind me. Never struggled to be heard. We use in ear monitors and earlier this year we made the leap to abandoning the backline and just going through the PA which for me just meant turning down the amp volume initially and relying on the DI. I've now moved to using the MarkBass models in the PA which, while nowhere near as extensive as the options in the MultiAmp, are usable for our needs and mean we can have a super-quick set-up and takedown. As such, this amp has been on the shelf and I don't see myself using it anymore. The whole set-up cost the best part of £1400 new - I still have the box in the loft I think - but I recognise that it isn't going to be worth anything like that. I've put £700 as a value and if someone wants to make a cash offer, I'd be interested but really keen to try and trade this for a bass(es) or possibly a MarkBass combo or LMIII head, just so I've got something for emergency use if needs be. Part-ex either way could work. I also have a MarkBass Club 121 with cover which I could add to any deal.

A lovely bass I'm sure but not my bag sorry.

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

Swap? lol

Done lots of gigs with this over last few weeks and decided it's not going anywhere.

Bump for price drop

🤤

Does it really weigh 11lbs or is that maybe the packing weight?

If anything, it’s a clean cut. My guitarist at the time had recovered his amps but used some ancient corners, one of which was razor sharp. The bag got it on it’s second outing, as did the leather in my car and my forearm. Done probably 200 gigs or more since so not an issue in regards strength or durability. The covering is remarkably strong. Just not stronger than said guitarist was dumb. Heres a better pic.

Black one sold, grey/orange one still available £140 posted in UK.

Got two one of these mother of all gigbags but don’t really need as no longer in van so switching to a smaller double bag. Black one is barely used and is almost pristine, £160 posted in UK. Grey one has done the bulk of my gigs and shows signs of use. £140 posted in UK. PM me or txt/call 07515 929935

Has this got the Aero pick-ups? IIRC, think the Aero have black and white, plastic wrap while the Fralins have black and white (ish) cloth wrap.

PM'd

Open to cash offers if anyone wants to make them. Pete

About 4.3kg or 91/2 lbs on the kitchen scales. Not superlight but definitely not monster heavy either and sits very nicely on a strap.

Looking to sell this lovely thing . These are epic tone machines, same materials, design and pick-ups as the (now) £2000+ 2024x, just without the aging process and Made in Japan tag. The P pick-up does the P-bass thing perfectly and the jazz is superbly matched to it in output and delivers a really burpy tone when the two pick-ups are both engaged while solo it is ace for snarly fingerstyle. Great slap tone too. The bass is in really good nick but has been gigged so has a few scratches and dings. Nothing horrific, will try and get some more pics for anyone who wants them. Comes with a hard case that is pretty much on it's last legs but which would provide ample protection for shipping the bass. Looking for £475 including delivery to UK addresses. Open to offers for collection (from Chepstow, S. Wales). Ideally would like a quick cash sale as have my eye on something so very much open to decent offers. Not really looking for trades excepting possibly a Yamaha BB 734a, BB 735a or BB 1025x or maybe one or two of the smaller MarkBass cabs. PM me or call on 07515 929935. Pete
