Yamaha BB414 VW (Vintage White) £250 Oldham

[Muzz]

Here's my favourite workhorse bass, I played this one for a good couple of years until my neck/back issues reduced the weight I'm comfortable with down to 'something starting with a seven', so I just don't use her any more. A shame, because (and I say this as a massive P fanboi) it's a very well built P/J which simply does the job. The J pickup in particular is very strong...not that I ever used it (see 'massive P fanboi' above). I'm a tinkerer, so at one point she had another bridge and some Ultra-lites on her, but she's back to stock now (same bridge holes and just four very small holes behind the stock tuners where the Ultra-lites used to be)...one thing I never even thought about changing was the pickups; if you like a good passive P/J, they're it, frankly. She's strung with new D'Addarios. She weighs between 8 1/2 and 9 pounds, which is sadly out of my range these days.

 

Condition is very good (tho she could do with a bit of a polish), I've tried to show the small dings/bruises and two tiny chips.

 

I'd much rather meet up (I can drive 75 miles from Manchester to meet), but if I really have to post, let's say £20 and cross fingers.
