**On Hold** Yamaha BB404F Lined Fretless Bass + Rok Sak Gig Bag £150 North Staffordshire

[dodgnofski]

My lovely Yamaha Lined Fretless with an extremely low action and oodles of mwaaaaaaaar. I really love this bass, but unfortunately in my dotage I am now beginning to struggle with long scale basses ☹️
 

There are a few tiny dings and some buckle rash, but nothing major.being overall in excellent condition and plays very nicely. Not an exceptional amount of volume from the passive pickups, but both working as they should.

It is a wonderfully shoulder and back friendly 7.5 lbs and seems to stay in tune for ever. The fret lines extend over the edge of the fingerboard, with a dot position marker in between, as on a regular bass  making playing in tune very easy - even for an old duffer like me.

The volume / volume / Tone controls provide a nice range of sounds, especially that lovely ‘woody’ Fretless sound we all love.

A Rok - Sak ‘Hob Nob’ of Gigbags is included. but unfortunately I do not have a box large enough to post out and therefore it will probably need to be collected - sorry ☹️

This would be an nexpensive way to try Fretless bass on an instrument that is well set up and very easy to play - if you don’t find double octave necks a bit too much of a stretch, like me. Or alternately, the quality of this bass is more than sufficient to use on stage or in  the studio.

Thanks for looking Chaps & Chapesses, if you have any questions - please fire away 👍

I've got a black version of this model. Great Yamaha quality and a fine introduction to fretless for anyone thinking about it.

A great basschatter to buy from too.

Thanks Neil, yes they are rather spiffing - just wish they did a short, or maybe even a medium scale version 👍
