Yamaha BB2004 (more pics added) price drop *SOLD* £420

[chilievans]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]What we have here is a very high quality Yamaha BB2004. The bass is is very good condition and comes with newly fitted strings and padded leather strap. The only reason that I'm selling is that I no longer play and am trying to raise funds for a road bike. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]When new these instrument retailed at £1000. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This is a natural 4 string thru neck active bass with pj pickups. It is a high quality instrument, largely the same as the still current Nathan East signature Yamaha 5 string. It has individual bridges for each string and quality unbranded machine heads. The are are very smooth. The preamp is based on the Yamaha Nathan East NE-1 EQ pedal, with a sweepable mid control making it easy to get that jazz bass Jaco style growl from the bridge pick up. It can also do a good impersonation of a precision bass. The neck through build means it has no heel and access to all 24 frets is easy. The neck is a medium C shape and it has a low action. The fretboard looks like rosewood, with jazz bass style block pearloid markers. [/size][/font][/color]

Pretty. :-)

Massively underrated bass, probably the best value for money on the forum at the moment.

One small correction though, the current bbne2 is JJ and has a different preamp.

Tempted by this, what's the weight please?

[chilievans]

Thanks for the correction bud.

It just weighed in at a shade under 9 lbs with the strap. Very well balanced.

I can get you more pics if you'd like Pete

this looks lovely - very surprised this hasn't gone - Yamaha make some of the finest workhorse basses in my opinion

Man, I like this bass !!! I hope it is still there when I get back to the UK in September... I find it hard to believe that no one will take it before that, though. Hope it finds a nice home.
