alanbass1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Still looking for a nice fretless bass so thought I would put my little used BB2024X up to see if there is anything out there. This is a great bass in excellent condition and comes with fitted hard case.

Ashborygirl Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these. Not to hijack you're trade thread, but how do you rate it? I hear 2 extreme schools of thought; It's a good bass but the AER/IRA stuff is nonsense & it's over priced. It's the real deal, a modern, Pre-CBS tone machine.

bobpalt Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Its fabulous. End of. Whatever they have done to it works, and the tone is the best I have heard. I have two of them and love them to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Yamaha basses have a unique sound quite different to any Fender , though you can allude to the classic P and J tones . The bottom end is massive , the mids are rich and buttery and the highs are sweet and extended . Perfect for any style of music . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
