Price massively reduced, I really need to free up cash, before holiday/Park festival season properly kicks off and I've got to play every day & night! Ah man... This is one of those 'I don't want to sell, but maybe need to' situations. This is my favourite bass I've owned. But, it's looking like I've been dealt early onset OA and need to get the lightest bass available or find another job! I'll double check, but this isn't heavy, it's about 9.5lbs, a shade over IIRC. It's currently the top of the line Yamaha BB, made in Japan. I bought it new from Yamaha London less than a year ago. It was the first in the UK I believe. It's alder/maple, has their newest lightweight hardware in a great satin finish. The bass is actually midnight blue, but tends to look more of a black in photos. It's string with D'Addario EXL170-5, as from the factory. It comes with a really plush hardcase too. It's passive, with VVT controls, but like with early BB's, the range if tones available is fantastic. It has 18mm string spacing, and the nicest neck I've played. I thought I liked a wide chunky neck on a bass, coming from a Sadowsky, but the Yamaha is something special. It's very comfortable and has a beautiful construction and matte feel. As I say, I'm not keen to let it go, but I'm struggling with my back/hips/knees... And this isn't even a heavy bass. Not looking for trades as I'm going to be looking at Sandberg Superlight series. I'm on the Isle of Wight, but Portsmouth/Southampton meet up is possible. Any specific photos/questions, please ask. Condition wise, there are no injuries to report. Neck and headstock remain completely as new, and there are no chips/dings/dents to be seen. The back of the body of the bass has some light swirling from my shirt buttons, but I couldn't pick it up in a photo.

Hi everyone , I'm selling my Xotic 5 string P bass. I ordered it new directly from Xotic through Bass Direct in 2016 , as it matched the spec I wanted . I used it sparingly on a tour I was on as I needed an authentic P bass sound , but haven't really used it since ( I've always been a Musicman player ) I had the bass set up by ex Sounds Great luthier Matt Ryan in Milnrow , who commented on the high build quality . The Xotic benefits from a push/pull active / passive master volume , a very transparent 3 band eq with master tone and luminova dots on the side of the neck that glow to help you out on dark stages / pits etc . The condition of the bass is 9.75 / 10.00 - The only marks I can see , are fine scratch marks on the scratch plate that were already on when I collected the bass - Hard to see on the photos and barely noticeable up close . Although I have hardly used the bass - I've used the gig bag a little - it's still in very good condition though . I'm not looking for any trades for this , and as I think I've priced it very competitively I'm not open to any offers . I'm looking for a UK sale only , and I would prefer the buyer to collect , although I'm open to discussing different delivery options . Thanks for taking a look . N

Yes, I'll trade it for £500 cash, lol. Sorry couldn't resist, I'm only after some cash tbh.

If I can find a buyer fir my BBP34 I will be all over this.

The question about the hardware was a valid one, since you had just stated a change in hardware colour to black by a previous owner, along with a link to the original ACG web page spec. Other brands of black hardware are available so how are BC members to know what has been fitted? You also posted the previous owner’s sale thread, in which it states that there is buckle rash and a dent, so again it was a valid question. I don’t understand how valid questions on a sale thread for a bass costing £900 constitutes a “crap” of your thread? i am not a time waster as my feedback on BC will show. I was actually genuinely interested in buying this bass, but I’m sure I’ll find something suitable from a less rude member.

ACG Jazz five string, maple board, boutique Jazz, from Alan's workshop. Bought by me from a fellow BCer about a year ago. Original ACG site reference and photos here: http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0103-acg-j-type-5-string/ My (rubbish) photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fZwdKiq8zSvCRshE7 (Or if that doesn't work, will email them). The hardware has been changed from chrome to black by a previous owner, The action is very low, although the strings are a bit on the light side for my tastes. The board is slightly birds-eye, and the bass overall only has the usual light swirling - no dints or serious scratches. This is very light for a five - 3.7kg on my bathroom scales - and one of the lightest 5s I've owned. It's a 34" scale, and has an East Custom U-Retro circuit, which I like a lot. Having owned Lull and Sadowsky Jazz 5s, I'd say this is a very serious competitor, for a lot less money. I am selling this, along with my two Fenders, to pay funeral expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, and to prevent thread crapping, I am asking less than what I paid for this bass. Here is null9er's original thread (which also has some rather nice photos). I hope he doesn't mind Collection or meet up in London/Surrey preferred, but courier possible at buyer's arrangement and expense. No trades please. Thanks

I’m headed to Leeds on Monday and I’ll be across in Manchester on Tuesday and driving back up to Scotland along the M6 on Wednesday so potential meet up is possible along the route.

Same here. Proud Hexabuzz owner.
