Right - hear me out.

I’m really not sure about this - but im trying to be a good boy.

EDIT - HAS TO GO £400 PLUS POSTAGE IN THE UK.

I keep listening back to rehearsals and I’m preferring passive basses in the mix (I’ve done this before - always end up back at passive)

This bass does passive - even has a tone pot.

It also works as a passive bass if the battery goes.

I recently sold another bb1100s as I didn’t need two, but then I’ve been using this passive since.

I’m in discussions about a 1024x and something’s got to give.

It’s under 9lbs (8.8 if I remember correctly)

it has some marks - nothing like the other 1100s had, some minor play wear - and a bit of oxidisation on the pole pieces, not bad for 32 years old. 

No case - just a slip cover - I’d prefer to ship it neck off, but could ship as is if you’re completely happy with the associated risks. £15 in UK or collect in M27 Manchester.

This really is a tentative post. Not sure i’ll keep it going. But it’s a lovely bass and I want it used - if passive suits the band then that’s where I’m going with it.

The sticker is easy to remove and I have a mock-up pickguard which could come with it - gig.ink have the final fit template on file so you could get one made up for it easily if you like them.

Would entertain a trade of a bb414 in wine red in good nick - with a value of £100/£150 against my bass.

or a bb424x in red or white £200 ish.

RIP brother, she'll fuxking kill you 😂😂😂

Someone please save this mans life and BUY the bass 😂🙏🏻

So its active, but can i get a passive pbass sound out of it?.  It looks like its appealing to pbass players with that split coil on there? Apologies if the question upsets any fender or yamaha purists but im just simply impure.

Yeah, the two bigger knobs are volume and tone, like a p-bass. The white pickup selector is between the J type and P type pickups.

The three smaller knobs and mini switch are for the preamp.

Yes, it's quite p-bassy, especially in passive mode. I've got one too, the slightly later made-in-Indonesia version with the different-shaped pickup covers (although the pickup guts are the same).

(There is facebook group dedicated to vintage Yam basses - lots of info on there)
