TJ Spicer Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Yamaha BEX4 Ā£350Ā šµ A great semi-hollow body bass. Iām surprised that these donāt get moreĀ attention with the range of sounds this bass offers. Piezo, magnetic pickup, blend and a powerful active 3 band EQ can genuinely get it from old school to modern with ease. Itās lightweight with a broadly appealing neck profile, neither tiny nor huge.Ā The electronics have recentlyĀ been re-soldered to ensure the bass is problem free for the foreseeable future. It comes with a hard-soft case, much like those provided with a Sadowsky.Ā The bass has some marks and anĀ amount of surface scratching from the last owner, but these marks are only obvious under certainĀ daylight lighting conditions. Sat on the wall without daylight directly on it, youād have a hard time seeing them.Ā Collection, meet up or shipping all potentially available.Ā Thank you for looking!Ā Edited December 3, 2019 by TJ Spicer 6

bassbiscuits Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Great bass. I played one at a bass bash and was surprised how versatile they were. Looks cool too! Ā 1

philw Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I've had two over the years. The fretless converted orange one was particularly awesome. Really great and cool looking basses. 1
philw Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Soundcloud link added. The fretless on this is my converted BEX4 (wondering why on earth I ever sold it). Ā Ā 1
spectoremg Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 That's a beauty. Never understand why Yamaha guitars don't get the recognition they deserve.Ā
BassGeorge Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Hello TJ, would you consider to trade the bass to Germany, in general? I've been looking for the blue version of this bass for a long time, but nobody seems to have one here in Germany. Best regards, Georg
stewblack Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 How does this hang from a strap? Is there any forward tilt?Ā

A very different experience to the G&L ASATs Iāve played.Ā T Edited November 19, 2019 by TJ Spicer 1
