Bump! Open to offers folks.

FYI folks, I'm near Birmingham until Thursday, so if that helps anyone I can meet up or whatever if you're interested and near Birmingham. Thanks

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1431867502' post='2775677'] Hi there, just fyi, I can't see the pics from (from my smartphone). Google says there's something up the URL. Maybe check that? All the best, P. [/quote] Hi there, Sorry, been having some technical difficulties! Try it now, should work okay. Thanks for looking.

[b][u][i]***ERROR MADE IN PRICE ENTRY - SHOULD BE £[s]450 £425[/s][size=5] now £395ono![/size]***[/i][/u] [/b][b]Apologies[/b] [b]Now might also be interested in a trade for the right 5 string bass too, not really looking to add cash though[/b] Extremely rare USA Peavey Grind 5 String bass. These were built in a very small quantity in c.2002 (featured in the 2002 Peavey catalogue (north America)), I think as a forerunner to the cheaper east Asian Grind BXP models that followed. There were so few of these made, it is extremely unlikely you will ever see another one, especially in the UK. This is a high quality bass, on par with any of the USA Peavey Cirrus or Millennium models. High quality hardware, hum cancelling pickups,18v active eq with passive bypass (and tone control), monorail bridge saddles, and probably the slimmest, fastest 5 string neck I've ever played. The bass is in Immaculate condition, there is no fret wear, and no dings in the body. The only issue is that part of the shaft for the push/push pot which engages passive mode has broken, although it still functions fine. I think the bass is probably worth more than this if I'm honest, but I'm looking for a quick sale. Recently set up, with a fresh set of Dunlop Super Brights. 040" -. 120" strings. Located in Hereford. Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions!

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1430426871' post='2761446'] How would you say this compares to TRB1005 (Korean made) in terms of playability and general quality? [/quote] Well I used to pretty much exclusively play a TRB1004 & a TRB1005. Not certain that they were Korean, but they were some of the earlier 100x series. The BB is different, but familiar. On the face of it, it looks less 'fancy', but you can tell that the quality of materials is there. The fretboard is a lovely piece of rosewood, and the alder body is lightweight but extremely resonant. The natural feel and tone of this bass is really superb. As for playability, it's a yamaha! Seriously though, it is such a joy to play very easy, and instantly homely and familiar to me. It's much more compact feeling and lighter weight than the TRBs, really very ergonomically friendly. To be honest, I wish yamaha still made this type of BB. I think for me, these pretty much encompass all of my favourite things about yamaha basses. Starting to think I'm gonna regret this!

Thanks man, they really are superb basses for the money! Mind you, there's not many yamahas you couldn't say that about!

Bumpity bump! A couple of folks waiting for payday to come, but it's still up for grabs at the moment. Get it while you can!

Just realised the photos came out sideways, sorry! Does anyone know how to fix this? They were the right way before!

Hey folks, Up for sale is my sexy black Yamaha BB605. These basses were launched as a mid-range version of the Nathan East signature model, and feature the outstanding and much-revered NE-1 preamp that the signature model had to too. This bass is just incredible, lightweight, compact body, very easy to play and a lovely comfortable, fast neck. It sounds amazing, and I think in a blind test most people would swear it was some sort of boutique super-jazz. It's by far the best bass at this sort of price point I've owned or played, and I think whoever buys it will be very pleased. Not sure how old it is exactly, I assume late nineties but could be wrong. As such, there are signs of use, but really the only significant one is a nasty scratch by the bottom horn (see photos), other than that it's in very good shape for its age. The neck is lovely, and there is virtually no sign of fret wear. It's currently string with Dunlop Super Brights 45 - 125. I'm looking for £xxx or nearest offer, to include next day UK courier delivery (UK mainland). I have priced this to sell quickly, but please pm me if you want to make an offer. Thanks for looking! Here's the spec from yamaha: This BB Series 5-string model features a built-in NE1 Parametric EQ and the BBNE2 Nathan East style body silhouette. ・Nathan East Sculpted Body Design ・Solid Alder Body ・5-String Maple Neck ・Rosewood Fingerboard ・24 Frets ・Single Coil Pickups ・Nathan East NE-1 Parametric EQ ・Diecast Chrome Tuners/Hardware

Great bass, if only it were a 5er..... GLWTS! PS. It's definitely 'violetburst', my Classic Booster 5 is cherryburst (as seen in my profile pic)

What a bargain! Glwts! I never realised you're local before Moosh, I'm a Herefordian too!

Can't held believe this is still here Dave, it looks incredible! That piece of flamed Ash is something else! GLWTS mate
