Fliplowe Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi, looking to sell my 1984 Yamaha bb2000, these things seem to be as rare as hens teeth in the UK, I don't recall ever seeing one on ebay uk. If your a fan of the Smiths then you'll know that this is what Andy Rourke played on all there studio albums, also Peter Hook played one a lot. Great sound, clear as a bell & plays great, all maple with walnut skunk stripes running through the body, thru neck, ebony fingerboard. I've added new Gotoh clover leaf tuners, they look better & the old ones had seen better days, also precision bass volume & tone knobs (still have originals too) Usual wear & tear for a 23 years old bass, nicks, scratchs etc. There is quite a large chunk out the paint (see pics) on the very bottom of the bass, but for the most part this is not visible due to it's location, adds to the mojo! Everything works as it should, anyway, I'm waffling, (sensible) offers? Cheers, Dave.

stingrayfan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Free bump for a classic. If I hadn't just bought another G&L, I'd have been seriously interested. Good luck with sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB2000 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 IMO the BB2000 is the best bass Yamaha has ever made. I hope someone buys this soon because I really don't need another one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryPotter Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Whats the neck like? It's the kind of bass I want but I struggle with Precision necks (more of a jazzer). I live in Leek so popping over isn't too much of a problem. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck I find very comfortable to play, but it's certainly more precision like in width & feel than a jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPotter Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry to be a pain but do you have any dimensions for teh neck at the nut and say the 5th fret? I tried one of the telecaster headstock precisions recently and really liked that neck, just cant get along with the current precisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
