owenfielding Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) i have a pristine instrument for sale, a Yamaha BBNE-2 Nathan East signature model in black and 5-string; 34 inch scale and 24 frets. This instrument is amazing! check it out on the Yamaha site or at Nathan East's site. It's a thru-neck beast with ebony fingerboard inlaid with figured abalone, mother of pearl tuners, bridge with individual saddles, maple and alder body, maple and mahogony neck, 2 Alnico V-stack humbucker pickups, active, great eq and tone controls, and gold hardware. looks so cool. It is quite a rare instrument as Yamaha only produce around 50 of these each year! It comes in the original case and is absolutely unmarked and orginal; sounds awesome and plays like a dream maintaining very accurate intonation. make me an offer around £1300. sorry but i'm only interested in a sale, no swaps or trades. thanks. owen.

owenfielding Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 hi and thanks for your interest. i have no idea what the market value is; i intended to call a coupla bass stores and ask a dealer friend. the black models seem to be a bit rarer than the white and are going for around £1400 but i'll check it out. as i said, i'm open to sensible offers. thanks. owen.

Kiwi Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've played this bass in a shop and it definitely made me go 'oooh'. Lovely supple feel and a warm growly sound. I know another member, Vipa, bought one a few months back on my suggestion and he's completely in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think I love these. However, it's lucky it's not in the blue finish, or else I would be remortgaging the house instead of typing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
