Delberthot Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 (edited) I’m having a big clear out of basses, strings and pedals. Pretty much anything that I am no longer going to be using so that I can reduce my collection to just 1 main bass, a back up and the pedals that I need. I bought this in early 2024 prior to taking a year off playing and it’s been sitting in it’s gig bag since then. I had a BB425 and BB1025 back when they were new and for some crazy reason sold both of them. Easily the best passive 5 string bass I’ve played. When this one came up for sale I had to go for it. It’s clearly been played before I got it as there’s a fair bit of buckle rash / swirling on the back of the body, there are scratches on the chrome control plate and something has rubbed against the pickups. In addition to this the previous owner has removed the pickup selector switch and rewired this VVT. There was a minute amount of scratchiness when turning the pots but I put that down to the fact that it’s been sat unused for 18 months. I actually forgot how good this sounded until I tried it prior to listing it but I’ve decided that I am never going to play a 5 string again so there’s no point in hanging onto it and I may as well offer it to someone who will get the use of it. The weight of this bass is exactly 10lbs but doesn’t seem to feel that heavy when worn on a strap. Comes with it’s original Yamaha top quality gig bag. Given the modifications and condition, I would be looking for £550 collected. Collection preferred but I am happy for you to arrange a courier as I have plenty of packaging materials to ensure that this is well packed. Edited 22 hours ago by Delberthot 7

Delberthot Posted 23 hours ago Author Posted 23 hours ago I'd love to spend the time taking this apart, polishing it and replacing the pots but I just don't have the time. Price reduced to a well below market value of £450. 1
