*** SOLD *** Yamaha BB1000 Japan 1978 OHSC
£600


claustra

Recommended Posts

Now sold, please close.


Yamaha BB1000 made in Japan back in 1978

£570 / 650€
Shipping costs at the buyer's charge (should cost from 25ish quid), can drop it in central London at no charge on Tues 26th Feb if on hold.

 

Top of the range bolt-on Broad Bass

Alder body, reverse P pickup

Quarter sawn maple neck, ebony fingerboard and super cool inlays.

43mm at nut

A decent 4.3kg

The bass comes with its original hardshell case
Not in pristine condition, some dings and scratches, and a bump in the finish at the back of the neck (shown on the pics as best I could) that I can't feel when playing and that could easily be sanded down, but so you know.

All original APART from one screw that I have had to change on the bridge (absolutely the same as the original one), and a weird looking screw at the back of the E tuner, perfectly functional.

Now set with Fender flatwounds.

What can I say apart from the fact that is is a 40 year old P bass killer, 1 single owner before me (not the tidiest)
I absolutely love those old BBs, they are punchy and sensitive, only selling this rarity as I need some cash, and have a BB1200s that will fill the gap.


I'll take better pictures when I have more time.

Shipping is not a problem.
My feedback can be checked.
Not sure about trades.

I forgot to mention that. 
I am in Northern France, and happen to be in London and Kent once in a while.

Already met a few members irl, and shipped basses without any issue.

The tuner works perfectly despite the bad looking bolt, that must be the exact same size as the original.
There are some serious scratches on the bass (note the 2 parallel lines on the right hand side of the bridge), but the solid natural finish makes them hard to spot from a distance (and with a camera)


The board is ebony on those, from the BB1000 upwards, not rosewood, hence the nice grain, and fine attack, closer to maple to me.

I'm starting to wonder if I should not keep it and sell my YOB Fender P to make the cash I need.
