Fought hard to buy this - and I might be totally stupid/wrong/laughable for my mindset.

It’s a mega rare 1985 Japanese Yamaha BB1300.

Neck Through…

2 x Twin J pickups…

Volume/Tone Per pickup…push/pull for coils and a pickup Selector.

It’s “racing blue” - sort of half lake placid blue, half lilac - it’s fit.

There’s a guy in Canada begging me to sell it him “name your price stuff” - but I know it caught the attention of a few basschatters.

it’s a special bass, and really amazing flexibility in a passive bass.

does a Jaydee esque sound, a J, a passable p, and if you use bridge in humbucker and neck in single, approximates a stingray…and a p/j ish when single bridge/neck hum.

But, I keep on going back to my P/J yamaha Bb’s.

Time to admit defeat. Passive P/J forever.

Will entertain trades, partial trades for Bb424x in red metallic…

Would sell if someone wanted it and didn’t have a trade option - but…

I would like for like swaps on a 

bb3000 (passive - I DO NOT WANT A 3000A) red metallic. May consider wine red.

bb2024mx (maple board - as rare as bb1300)

bb1600 gun metal blue preferably, maybe Natural - with cash my way (amount depending on condition).

bb2024x - with cash my way (amount depending on condition). Not really sure on this idea…

 

I’d hoped to bond with it…but it’s just a thought process which is gathering speed.

legitimately had a dream where I swapped it for a 2024mx the other night - so weird.

Volume and tone (push/pull) we’re like for like replaced when the push/pull originals failed. Originals included in sale if you’re into repairing pots…🧐

fresh d’addario 40-100 on it. Can swap for 45-105 I have spare, which have been played a couple of hours.

Spotted Tiny hairline crack in bridge pickup casing near the E string - on the edge - invisible up until resting your head on the bass - only spotted this yesterday.

some small marks on the bass - but unbelievable for its age.

Really like it but then I play my jazz and have zero gigs on the horizon 🙄

Well. I’ve listened back to the middle Section of the night where I used it…

May hold off until Vanderklay arrives - the Ashdown cab I rented was way off the mark - weird as I’ve enjoyed using it previously.

That is such a stunning looking BB. With a new build P bass incoming I'm almost tempted to ask if a BBPH may interest you....

I'm a sucker for neck through Yamahas (I've owned many) and that looks absolutely lovely.

It would tempt me - but I would only sell it…

Have a think on it, the BBPH’s seem hot property at the moment and you’d do well out of selling it!

Its been in the case since last use - it’s so special, I don’t want it in the stand.
