Yamaha BB414

I am in the market for a back up bass just literally to sit at the side when I start gigging again ( I sold all my back up gear when I packed in years ago but been coaxed out for a gig or two or three!), normally play my 73 Jazz and used to have a JV jazz as my back up, looked at a few squier or mex jazz and precision but not fancied anything yet. Strangely I’ve never played a Yamaha Bass but I’ve been offered a BB414 from a friend of a friend for £80 quid? Seems a no brainer but are they any good???

That’s what I’ve seen it on - think you can link it to FB, looked like it needed a switch and a pot.

got me thinking about a wine red 414 now. My orange one is ace.4A51ECAF-D1A1-4F89-87F0-5C1B2917CDE1.thumb.jpeg.72d1dbdec32b88db4f9017c8ef67555f.jpeg

They’re all nice but the orange one with the matching headstock is fab

Yeh it’s the one off Schpock. In ok condition, just them couple of little jobs. Sounds ok tho and the action is ridiculously low on it. Might adjust that.

It’s too broken that. I’ll give you your £80 back and I’ll sort it 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Yeah. I’m not paying £150 for it - he’s had it on for a while.

weirdly, the vintage bb tuners don’t suit it either.

@CameronJ I’d rather wait for @StuarDaddy to realise that BB’s are not for him...

Shouldve gone up on my lunch break - it was in Knowsley and I’m only working in Ashton-in-Makerfield (about 10 miles) 

would’ve been a long dinner break...in fact, I haven’t had a dinner break in 2 years
