BB2000 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Mint condition BB2004.Ā These are getting difficult to find, and you'll never see one in better condition than this.Ā (The case is a generic bass case and not the Fender tweed one shown). Ā 9
martfitz Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Good luck with the sale, one of the few basses I regret letting go of, it is awesome.
BB2000 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 It's hard to believe that it's ten years since I got this from you.Ā Do you still have the BB1500A - they seem to be impossible to find now.
martfitz Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I know, whereās that time gone? Yes I still have the BB1500A, absolutely love it, got some TI flats on it and it sounds awesome. If IĀ could shift my Flying V IādĀ have this back off you in a flash.Ā
BB2000 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Yes, happy to ship (price includes UK shipping). Edited September 10, 2019 by BB2000
BB2000 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Posted December 16, 2019 No interest in this?Ā It was Yamaha's top of the line model back in the day - it's pretty scarce because it cost an arm and a leg (about Ā£1260 if I recall - over Ā£3300 in today's money assuming 5% inflation) so seems to be under the radar of most bassists.
pete.young Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I can't believe you've still got it. This is as close as you can get to a 4-string BBNE.
BB2000 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) I measure it at 4.07kg Edited December 19, 2019 by BB2000 Weighed wrong bass

GreeneKing Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 That is awesome. What is the scale length? (Please say 35" and I'll be safe).Ā BB1500A? I seem to remember buying one from you moons ago? Ahh, basses I have loved and lost. 1
BB2000 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 Hello Peter,Ā it's 34", 40mm nut, maple & mahogony neck (rosewood board) with alder wings.Ā 1
GreeneKing Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Many thanks for that. I have no idea why this superb bass hasn't sold many times over. Buy a dodgy 70's Fender and you could pay many times the price... The very familiar urge to buy more basses hasn't quite gone away. Here speaks the man who tried to stop counting at 100. I went down to 3 during my sojourn from playing and I now have 5! They are all far better basses than my playing does justice to. Buying new basses doesn't make me a better player (otherwise I'd be simply awesome) so as much as I covet thee sweet black Yamaha I'm going to give you a well deserved bump and move on. PeterĀ 3
koval123 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 If only it was... 6-, 5- or 3-stringer (yes, they do exist), 32" or 35" scale, black or gold-plated hardware, a lot lighter or a bit heavier than 4.07kg, maple fretboard, fretless perhaps, .... ... it would be mine already!Ā Seriously, I'd love to take it and have funds available but also promised my better half to reduce and not to increase the number of bass guitars I possess... And she remembers my promise Have a bump!
