SOLD: Yamaha BB425 5-string £220 Spalding, South Lincolnshire

[moley6knipe]

Yamaha BB425 5-string.  £220 (no trades)

Yamaha BB425 in outstanding condition. Two tiny, tiny scuffs on the rear but you've got to be close up, and they won't photograph! BBs are astonishingly good basses: this looks, sounds, feels and plays like a bass costing WAY more than this. Both pickups sound great: the P is fantastic - Yamaha Ps have a great sound all of their own, not a simple Fender clone. P+J together is funk-mungous. B-string is tight, neck is in excellent condition (truss rod turns fine), no fret buzz, pots are crackle free. Selling to free up space, as it's not going to get a look-in now I've snared a USA Dimension Deluxe V. Plus I'm a natural finish / active / humbuckers kinda guy really.

No case or bag with this. Fitted with Schaller strap-locks (obviously including the bits that go on your strap)... I can't find the original strap buttons.  Has a set of D'Addario ProSteel 45-135 fitted through-body: have lost their zing but undented and plenty useable! Collection preferred, or will drive up to 45 minutes from PE11 postcode to deliver / meet. Happy to discuss sending by courier too at buyer's expense. Also selling other basses, cabs and pedals at present in case anything else takes your fancy.

• 43mm nut
• 600mm neck radius

These are very very good basses!! And easily equal to bass 3 times it's price. I regularly use a 4 string version,even over my more expensive basses. Had I not just bought a wonderful Yamaha TRB5 I'd be jumping on this 😁

An incredible bass for the money!

i bloody love this and the newer x series of BB both the 5 string and four string , especially in white, i have owned both.  Just fabulous instruments. The newer series after these doesn't look as classy as these do imho. 

GLWTS if i had cash or something to trade...sighs
