Basses you hardly ever see for sale

I'm trying to get my hands on a Yamaha BB425X or 1025X but they seem as rare as a five legged horse, though there is the occasional overpriced one often in some remote corner of the country 'collection only', or from overseas with shipping costs half the price of the bass! 😂

Rigby Music in Stockport are advertising a red BB424X for £350 if anyone is interested however whether it's still for sale I couldn't say (what is it with music shops and dealers who persist in advertising guitar stock they sold six months ago ?🤔)interested

Cheers, Steve

Hi Terry. Thank you very much for the lead and also for the link. Can't believe I missed this as I was only looking through their secondhand gear pages on Sunday ? 🤔

I've just had a chat with Andertons and will more than likely pull the trigger so many thanks again 🤗👍

You're welcome Steve. I remembered it on the website when I saw their used Ibanez AFR5 that I'm pondering over 👍 Good luck either way.

The Kay Gremlin I bought on Basschat. 

 

Google suggests that only a handful have ever been sold on the Internet.

Ashbory Mk 2. About 80 black ones were made, at least two of them owned by BC members (me being one of them). There was then a run of ten made by Clive Cherry with Brazilian mahogany bodies, and bookmatched flame maple tops and headstock facing. I managed to get one of those a few months ago. No more were ever made.

Yes indeed - I owned a black one.

For some reason as it's the award winning ugliest headstock ever made...
