On hold: Yamaha BB5000 with original case (passive) 1986 £1100 Bad Bentheim, Germany

[Quasar79]

Hello everyone,

I am selling my Yamaha BB5000, with original case. This is the passive model, made in Japan in 1986, with the narrow string spacing (15mm at the bridge). Weight: 4.2kg.

This is a very rare beast and beauty, with a neck-through body with a laminated wing construction. The neck itself consists of alternating layers of maple and mahogany.

A quality bass made in Japan, which plays very easy with a low action. You get a volume and tone pot, and a three way toggle switch (note that this is the passive version).

The bass has been played over the years, so it has it's dings and dongs, but i tried to picture it as good as possible.

*The bridge pickup is original, only the rail/blade is missing.

My asking price is negotiable, i will consider trades, but only with added cash. Case is included.

A quality instrument. If it wasn't for the tight spacing, I'd be genuinely interested. GLWTS.

Any neck twist, does the trussrod works flawlessly?

Trussrod works perfect!
