FS: Yamaha BB1200 mega Precision **SOLD** £450

[Beedster]

Original listing here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240818-fs-yamaha-bb1200-ohsc-sold-pending-the-usual/page__hl__yamaha%20bb1200"]http://basschat.co.u...yamaha%20bb1200[/url]

I recently reacquired this bass but have got to put some cash elsewhere. Trust me, this is a magnificent instrument on absolutely every level, and frankly worth three times the asking price. OHSC case included.

Hey Chris, going to be 'that guy' and ask about the weight. Previous thread never did get round to putting a figure on it.

Hi mate, it's moderate weight, I don't have accurate scales here but it's lighter than both my Fender Precisions, neither of which are heavy by any means. However if you're looking for a light instrument per se, this is probably not it.

Cheers

I've wanted one of these for ages. Peter Hook rates his 1200S with the active circuit as the best bass he's ever owned. I prefer passives, so as a Hooky obsessive the 1200 is a bass I've lusted after. Then I rewatched the Love Will Tear Us Apart video, and Hooky's actually playing a 1200 - the 1200S was a replacement after his first Yamaha was stolen along with the rest of New Order's equipment.

I owned a 1979 double of this. Fantastic and powerful passive tone. Only got rid because I got a BB2000 in the same colour.

Massive bargain at this price ;-)
