SOLD Yamaha BB1100s White inc case
£400

Recommended Posts

A great Yamaha bass from the late 80’s - I currently have 2 of these and 5 other Yamaha BB’s. These are honestly some of the best basses you can get for not silly money.

I fully intended to keep both of my 1100s but sometimes life gets in the way so this is last in, first out.

This came to me last month and got a full clean, set up and polish - it’d been used plenty but not cleaned much 🤣

It’s a little bit livelier sounding than the sunburst one I have - that one is a few years older and has slightly different pickups.

These are great p/j basses with active or passive modes.

The two big knobs are volume/tone (only functions in passive mode)

Little knobs are bass/middle/treble. 

Big switch is pickup selection.

Little switch is active/passive toggle.

If the single 9v battery fails mid gig, no stress - this bass works in passive without the battery in the circuit.

Some age related marks and play wear, but it’s 31/32 years old and has been played. Nothing structural or catastrophic. 

The case is of the same era - it’s a typical box type case - not sure if it’s the original yamaha supplied one, but looks similar to ones I’ve seen from the era.

Weighs 9.2lbs, balances really well.

The 1988 is a weird one, same body shape as the mid 80’s bb’s, but the pickups from the 90’s model - you normally see the early ones in black or sunburst and the 90’s ones in a red burst. So white aren’t all that common.

I’d prefer collection in Manchester M27, and as I’ve got little ones at home I won’t be doing deliveries or meet ups in Asda car park up the motorway etc - I do love being invited to meet, but have experienced people not turning up etc in the past so just flat refuse now.

Shipping would have to be insured - so would be quite expensive, or you can arrange at your own expense/risk. I’d pack the bass well, but couriers have their way.

open to discussion on shipping neck off minus case.

No shipping out of EU as this bass has a rosewood fingerboard and may be subject to CITES even though it’s 30+ years old.

Can’t say trades are an option as cash needs to be diverted elsewhere. 

Paypal gift transfer (or fees covered) and Bank Transfer will do. Cash if you’re collecting is cool.

Just for those who missed it - is now on eBay for more money.

Have been asked to ship out of UK by a couple of people.

I’ve done this before - I’ve packed basses up and people have arranged their own shipping.

I’d do that on the proviso that it’s upon the buyers head which courier and level of insurance they choose.
