An absolutely outstanding instrument, quite literally a Super Precision or Super Jazz whichever way you choose to look at it. Handmade in Japan, I seriously doubt you'l buy a better bass for under £5k. Original thread at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227643-rare-yamaha-bb2024mx-traded/"]http://basschat.co.u...b2024mx-traded/[/url], and thread about the bass - why I bought it and why I'm selling it - at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228521-after-8-years-of-searching-yamaha-2024mx-content/"]http://basschat.co.u...2024mx-content/[/url]. A stunning instrument in every possible way, and no doubt rather rare with a maple board.
I'm ideally looking for a straight sale but could also do with a small DB-friendly combo (Markbass/PJB) in PX

I've just played it. I've owned a lot of decent basses - Fender AVs and Custom Shop, Sadowskys, Ric C64S and v63, Modulus Fleas, EBMM BFR Stingray, as well as a lot of vintage instruments (Pre CBS Precisions, Pre EB Stingrays etc). I can say hand on heart that this really is an outstanding bass even compared with the list above. I now need to sell it to fund a couple of other music related projects. Wish I didn't

Thanks Luke, it's both a looker and a player.

I've had a few PMs re trades. With apologies I definitely DO NOT want any more basses, I'm happy to arrange a deal with a decent, small but relatively high power combo (e.g., Markbass 1x12/1x15, PJB Super Flightcase, Mesa Walkabout, Ibanez Promethean) with cash my way.

Cheers

Chris

I own and have owned all kinds of high-end, upmarket basses of various types, and these basses really are up their with the[u] very best [/u]of them. Think NYC Sadowsky/ USA Lakland/ Aleeva Coppollo / F Bass kind of quality, both in terms of sound and build , and you are getting some idea of the kind of level these instruments are on . They really are one of the best basses that money can buy, and as such are a bit of a bargain even at the full retail price. This is a mint condition example with a known ownership history of being well looked- after and hardly used , and with the added appeal of being the incredibly rare MX version with a maple fingerboard, all at a very reasonable price . As such, this bass will make some new owner very happy rather soon, I expect.

One of the best and most appealing basses I have ever seen for sale on Basschat. GLWTS.

Many thanks Dingus, goes without saying that I agree with all of the above :rolleyes:

I'd certainly put this bass well above the two Sadowsky Metro Precisions which I guess would put them in Sadowsky NYC league, and in terms of leagues, it's in an entirely different one to the Fender Custom Shop basses you'd find in a similar price range. This bass really is a wolf in sheep's clothing (TBH I've found most FCSs I've owned to be sheep in wolf's clothing by comparison)

Is the neck closer to a P or J bass? Beautiful bass btw
[/quote]

Probably closer to a Precision, I'll try to post exact width and depth dimensions later

I was really sceptical about these until I actually played one. So much nicer than I imagined, a really top quality instrument!
[/quote]

Likewise, I was sceptical about this and about Yamaha generally, but man they know how to build a bass. IMO nothing Fender have done gets even close to this instrument, and I've played a lot of top end Fenders.

I may have found a way of keeping both this bass as well as its proposed 4001 replacement which would be ideal, just waiting for confirmation of a gig (of sorts!)

Ooooh if I had the cash! I have the BB1024X, and it is fantastic. Better than the fenders and stingrays to my ears.
[/quote]

And for all those reasons I've decided to keep it. The 'I don't need it' argument is short sighted as I will no doubt need it at some point, and the balance of classic/contemporary styling with classic/contemporary sounds means that it's going to sit comfortably in a number of settings.

I feel better already :)
