Tasty models.

There are two 2024/Xs for sale on BC at the moment. Darryl's has been up for what seems like ages and is identical in price but 0.5kg heavier. Personally prefer the non-X version myself but I'd jump on either one at the right price. 

An Olympic white one with a few dinks went on Ebay a couple months ago for around £1250. Ummed and ahhed but I just couldn't bring myself to cross the 1k mark for a lovely but basic instrument. 

Ooh that is tasty!

Horses for courses, I’m quite into it.

I think the gold hardware looks class. One sexy bass 😍

Just gonna give this a little plug on here, in case anyone is thinking of moving on their 1024 (great choice btw! 😊)

Yamaha BB 1024 - Items Wanted (NO TRADES) - Basschat

Funny, I've been thinking the exact same thought! My appetite was whet by that lovely amber coloured 1024 that sold in the marketplace last week within 24 hours. Vintage white is definitely the best colour IMO

Sorely tempted by this... love yamaha basses

Looks like a decent 424 for sale here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284215792660

Looks great and a fair price but collection only? No way anyone could legally collect that who wasn't from the area. Pity.

Fernandez did a neck-through P bass which I'd love to get a listen to.

The geek in me Knows that if the Yamaha PJ in the opening video was mine I would lower the bridge pup a smidge for my taste... of course saying something like that out loud would make me look a right knob

You'll be alright as long as you don't write it down or post it in a discussion on Basschat 🤓

I just love the fact that we can discuss at length these extremely subtle tonal differences. I am a self confessed electric bass obsessive and I could pore over this kind of thing forever.

I don't think anyone outside of the bass community would get this at all. I know my wife doesn't. 

Drool... GLWTS

I just love this and I'm not a Jazz bass man.... gorgeous looker

was trying to find a clip of a BB1300 and internet led me to this 

which someone said in a link was a Yamaha BB.... but is it? the top looks carved 

Louis is on fire, he'd have literally snapped that bass in two if the string hadn't stopped him! Thanks for sharing this, love it!

You were luck not to bid tbh.  I just checked the completed listings - the seller stole the photos and details from a genuine sale that ended yesterday.  The give-away is a new seller with zero feedback with an item listed hugely under value.  If it looks too good to be true...

 

That is so dodgy, good detective work!

To be fair 1500 is a decent price as well 😄

Saw the above on the Bay newly listed for this ridiculously cheap price this afternoon. I ummed and ahhed for a few mins but when I moved to the payment page it suddenly vanished. You snooze- you lose I guess. 

Did some lucky individual just pick up a Status for under 500? Did someone just buy a stolen treasure? Or did the seller mis-type the price before realising and quickly withdrawing?

I didn't need another bass but what a tremendous bargain!

😍 lovely

This is such a good price for a quality instrument. Great videos as well. GLWTS

Rather tasty vintage white 2024X has appeared on fleabay for £1249. The GAS is rising once again... must.... resist! 

Just beautiful.

The camerawork was atrocious though, why is it necessary to zoom in on eyeballs and feet?

That just oozes quality.

Great weight, great price GLWTS

I like that. 

And here is the aforementioned plush lined Yammy gig bag 😎

Cheeky cross-post here as I'm selling my BB734A. No gigs, no justification for multiple basses as far as in concerned (will the GAS stay away though...?). The TRB 5 now reverts to its former position as principal axe for the time being...

Very good condition with a few small dings near strap button nearest to the bridge which I have photographed.

Fitted with a new set of DR Neons strings and Yamaha gig bag is included.

Truss rod works fine and it plays beautifully thanks to a low action.

Weighs 4.2kg

Bass Direct are selling this model new for £745 so a significant saving here.

Can post if required, expected cost £30 but will confirm with buyer.

Thanks for looking and any questions please ask.

My feedback thread is here:

Here is my review I posted a while ago shortly after I acquired it:

Official specs:

BB 734A is a Alder/Maple/Alder constructed Bass Guitar from Yamaha, featuring a hard maple centre to both increase stiffness and to accentuate the mid-range. The neck is slightly thinner than previous BB models, to help improve playability and is made up of beautiful 5-ply maple and mahogany. Onboard the guitar features two YGD Custom V7 pickups and you can completely shape your tone using the V7's 3 band EQ, pickup balancer and the active/passive switch. The unit's "Diagonal Body Thru Stringing" helps to reduce stress by transferring string vibration to the guitars body.

Alder / Maple/ Alder Body Construction

6-Bolt Miter Neck Joint

5-piece Neck

YGD Custom V7 Pickups (AlnicoV)

3-Band Active EQ - treble becomes passive tone is passive mode.

Battery Alert LED

Vintage Plus Bridge : Convertible Bridge and Saddle

Lightweight Open Gear Tuners

A lovely bass, excellent price and reliable seller. GLWTS
