TJ Spicer Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Yamaha BB5000 White - £1000 White Yamaha BB5000, bought here a couple of years ago. I'm a huge Nathan East fan and have been on a big Yamaha quest over the years as a result. However, I still have my Yamaha TRB6PII which covers the majority of that sound for me, and I think my voice on the instrument really belongs on a Fodera. So with sadness it's time to move this legend on and get saving for Fodera no. 2! It's the first ever production 5 string bass, and Yamaha did a damn good job doing it for the first time! I was fortunate enough to play this at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios and it sounded absolutely phenomenal DI'd through the monitors. In fact it's the only bass that I've regularly received praise from even the grumpiest FOH engineers, so maybe I'm a fool for moving it on! It will come with a hard-soft case a lot like a Sadowsky. Collection preferred as always, from either Bath or Maidenhead, but shipping can be arranged too of course. Short YT demo attached, headphones/monitors definitely required! Will try and get round to a full demo in the next week if it doesn't sell before then! Trades unwelcome unless you fancy a BB5000 as a make-weight in the purchase of your Fodera 5/6 string! Thanks for looking! T Edited April 1, 2018 by TJ Spicer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS TJ nice one minute demo btw! Sounds like a great idea to me! I look forward to that too @CameronJ 😉😂 Thanks @Al Krow, the B string is decidedly out of tune listening back, but it’s all about the tone right? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
