Yamaha BEX4.

Wanted one for ages. Can’t find a good ‘in for love nor money. Preferably natural.

Gah.

It took a while to find and is going nowhere. 

Fantastic basses for very little money.

Add that to wanty wanty please. Lush.

As Frank asked, what is it? 

It’s a partscaster...

I spec’d a hollow body with a builder, got a modern P neck, added a Grainger bridge and knobs and popped an Oil City custom wound 51P pickup with dual coils so it humbucks. The finish is Danish Oil.

I've developed a sudden and unexpected GAS for one of these since seeing @Quilly's thread yesterday.

There's something else I'm saving my pennies for at the moment, but if there's any change....

Yeah , I’ve noticed a few bits that are indicative of the low price but overall it’s a pretty decent cheap acoustic bass. See other thread

While it really like the sound and look of the 51 p bass. My thumb can’t get used to that pickup position. I tried that Harley Benton p bass. Great bass but I couldn’t get on with it . I just find the traditional p bass a more comfortable bass.

I play with my thumb resting on the string below, so it doesn’t bother me - if anything I find the lack of contouring more of an issue

I had developed gas for those, which is why I searched for and found Quillys thread and brought it back to life!

I think I saw it on an advert for G4M

Lucky to be relatively bass gas free atm. Only because I'm suffering horrendous pedal gas instead. 

However there are a few on my long standing wish list. Notably this - 

Peavey+T40+Tan.jpg

Had three of these and a T45...........incredibly versatile, bloody heavy but a lot of fun with tones and stuff.  About 450 quid if I remember right?
