I've had some requests to ship this internationally.

I am happy to package the bass up for international delivery, but purchaser will have to organise, pay and take the responsibility for any damages.

Cheers you.

The Yamaha BB1025X 5-String Bass Guitar is a pickguard version of the BB1025 featuring a 3-piece body structure with diagonal body thru stringing and a 5-piece neck. This premium-quality 5-string bass features a range of quality components that results in an exceptional sounding bass guitar, perfect for intermediate and professional players alike. The unique diagonal body thru stringing style helps to reduce stress and secure the tension of the string, providing improved transmission of vibrations for a thick and fuller sound.

I've loved my time with this bass and it is truly an exceptional instrument, but you can't keep them all.

Strung with flats.

Comes with a Hiscox hard case which sell for around £100 on there own.

Will ship.

May be interested in trading for fretless although I'm a fussy bugger, or a Cali76 or similar and cash, or even a Helix Stomp.

Lush...

It's an amazing pedal. I can meet you half way if that works.

For sale - basically new Orange Bass Butler with an Electro Harmonix Ctrl Knob static expression pedal.

Amazing pre amp only selling as I've upgraded to an Orange amp so no longer needed.

The EHX pedal gives you three switchable bass tones, from the pedal combo.

All original boxes, instructions and box candy included.

Will ship at your cost or collect from North Devon.

Yeh I agree the G&L L1000 would be perfect....just don’t have deep enough pockets.

Right, got some money burning a hole in my pocket for a new used bass after selling my old trusty Jazz.

I'm pushing 50 and play in a old school rock band (Cream, Hendrix, Bowie etc) so looking for something with old school tones and plenty of low end, I don't often need to play with a pick nor do I ever have the need to slap.

So I was thinking, Yamaha BB 434 or G&L L2000 Tribute what are your thoughts, finger pointing or experience?

BTW I live in lower bumble f*ck my local shop has 3 random basses so please don't say go and try them as I can't without travelling halfway across the company and I'm too lazy to do that....I know in an ideal world I would try them but there isn't such place.

Thanks in advance.

P.S I might go 5 so Yamaha BB435 or G&L L2500 makes no odds.

PM’d 

If I had some gigging money coming in I would have this in a shot

What voltage/ power supply does this need?

Because it’s a one of their new digital amps and you can’t drive the pre amp, sounds good eq is excellent..... just can’t drive it.

Some advice please, before I buy and have to sell another wrong pedal.

I’m looking for an always on pedal to go in front of my new Ashdown D class amp to give it some warmth and a little drive but only when I dig in. I’ve tried the Boss OBD-3 and Bass Big Muff both are great but even at their lowest gain settings they cause too much overdrive.

I don’t want to spend a fortune so no Darkglass etc pedals.

Pedals I’m considering -

EHX Bass Soul Food

EHX Hot Tubes

TC Electronics Mojo Mojo

Joyo American

Any observations, suggestions greatly appreciated.

How much to courier to North Devon?

Fender Jazz 1962 reissue

Made in Japan in the early 90’s

Black with tortoise shell scratch plate

Refretted in the last 12 months by James Millman in Bideford. http://www.millmanguitars.co.uk/

Upgraded Schaller 3D bridge, greater mass and fully adjustable including string spacing

Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pick-ups and I have the original pick-ups

The bass is pushing 30 years old so is showing some wear but no major knocks or dinks. Some lacquer has come away at the neck socket but hard to see..

Priced to sell at £650 or would consider trade for quality 5 string.

Would prefer collection but could organise postage at your cost.

Leave the neck white + where it is and the bridge black where it is. Take the neck black off and the bridge white off, join them together and tape up. Job done.

Cheers KiOgin, one last question. The neck black has three wires? Two coming from the pickup and one going to a copper plate, do I connect all three of those to the bridge white?

Shame my German isn’t better

Some advise from someone cleverer than I.

I want to wire my ‘92 MIJ Jazz in series l using just the front volume knob for both pickups and keeping the tone knob as is.

I’ve looked at various wiring diagrams and I thought it looked easy until I opened up my bass and got scared.

Can anyone give me an idiots guide on what wires I need to solder and where.

If I could sell my Jazz I’d buy this tomorrow 

Thank you all for your words of wisdom, after much thought the Yamaha BB734a in coffee sunburst has won it for me. 

Now comes they hassle of selling my Jazz ....wish me luck.

Looking to change my early nineties Fender Jazz MIJ to a modern P or preferably P/J style bass.

I’ve been thinking either the Yamaha BB734, Sandberg Electra or Schecter CV 4.

Any input on these basses?

Am I missing another obvious winner bass around the £550 to £800 range?

i live in outer bumble f@ck so please don’t  say go and try them all......cause that ain’t an option.

A fretless is a great exercise even if you don’t play it in a band situation live.

They make you really listen to what you and your band members are playing. It’s too easy to fall into the trap of A A A A D D E E etc and not really listen to the pitch/tone/harmony.

I don’t play a fretless live but have one in the quiver for those days.....you know...those days.

Howsit?

Been a silent stalker of this forum for a while but thought I’d join and contribute if/where I can.

I’be been playing bass on and off (between 6 string stints) for the last 30 years. 

I play a late 80’s MIJ Fender Jazz and am an EHX bore.
