CraigPlaysBass Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I'm assuming most people on here will know what this is, for those that don't, here's the manufacturers description: [i]BB414 combines classic passive electronics and legendary BB design to create a bass ready for action. For more than 20 years, Yamaha BB Series basses have been the workhorse for some of the world’s greatest bassists. Through the years, these players have relied on Yamaha's BB Basses to deliver that deep, warm thump that has become the hallmark Yamaha bass sound. The BB414 features a solid alder body with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Electronics include a custom voiced ceramic soapbar-style bridge pickup, a split coil neck pickup, a toggle selector switch and speed knobs for master volume and master tone.[/i] Specifications: Colour - Wine Red Scale - 34" (864 mm) Body Type - Alder Pick Up System - Split Single Coil x 2, Ceramic Bar Single Coil x 1 Neck - Maple Finger Board - Rosewood Bridge - Vintage Style Controls - 3-position Toggle, Master Volume, Master Tone Nut width - 1" 9/16 (Slightly thicker than a jazz) This was my first proper gigging bass and served me well. However, since I bought my Jazz a year ago, it has just languished on the wall, I'm selling it to raise some funds for an Orange Bass Terror (hintnudge). It is in fairly good condition, usual scratches and a couple of small dents, as would be expected of a gigged bass. I've tried to show these in the pictures. The colour is really nice, I initially chose it to get away from block colours and was glad that I did. The pictures don't do it justice. According to various websites, the RRP is around £380, after a bit of searching, the cheapest I can find it in stock online is at £297, they seem to sell up to £340 and beyond. As such, I am asking £200 for it, complete with a new set of strings (woohoo ). I'm saying pick up only at this time*, purely because I don't have a box big enough for it, I will try and remedy this situation however. If you want to send me a box, and then I'll send it back to you in it, then sure. Feel free to message me with trades or offers or whatever, I'm primarily looking for light amplification (OBT etc). Can make cash adjustments your way after some other sales have gone through. *Based in Bournemouth Edit: I forgot to mention, I broke one of the knobs off when tightening the pot (I hadn't done it before ). I just stuck on a spare one I had lying around. They don't match perfectly, but from the front you wouldn't notice the difference. You can pick up a new one for pence, it's just a plastic one after all. Edited September 1, 2011 by CraigPlaysBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
