YAMAHA BBP34 MIDNIGHT BLUE PRO SERIES MADE IN JAPAN - TRADES I got a BBP34 this year and was so impressed I ended up buying two ( I do prefer the sunburst though only slightly ) - one for flats one for wounds. I will always have one in the stable as I believe they are the one of the finest traditional sounding basses ive played but having two is maybe a bit excessive. Used it only for studio work; no dents on the body some signs of use though and a small nick on headstock (pictured) perfectly balanced with I.R.A. treated wood. build quality is second to none and overall precision is next or higher than Fender custom shop/ new special musicman etc which you can see when you closely inspect it. These have a really hefty retail; and don't come up for sale much. dual action truss rod that is really easy to dial in and makes achieving perfect flatness with no fuss (used labella heavy and ultralights elixirs on this and setting the neck was insanely easy and quick) So i'm considering letting this go in favour for a trade and see if there's anything out there to expand the collection. Trades: of equal or higher value (I have cash to add if needed) show me what you got, wouldn't mind something modern, fretless or even a bit wacky. Comes with the premium Yamaha mega case and with all manuals, ownership certificate and tools et. IMG_8784.psd

Got this not too long ago - used only in studio for recording in comfort. As new. No dents. No scratches. Case queen. Super lightweight for a stingray. Mint case and all candy. Still smells new 😄 Nowt wrong with it - just reaching for my 02 old stingray more. Putting this out there to see if anyone wants a trade for a stingray 5 or maybe a classic. paid £1900 on wills site + added 100 for a fret stone and dress from Chris mcentyer (sei bass, who’s now in Edinburgh, used to be London based and is a renowned luthier) which means you can slam the action down to as low as the saddle will let you. I promise. price is a guide as id rather trade. But I think it’s fair. I think. I have two stingrays (a 2002 which I prefer) as you may know these are technically superior to the pre special stingrays. Extremely light, a much more refined pre, and roasted neck with perfect balance, SS frets the list goes on. hoping if anyone have an older stingray 5 to trade. Cash adjustment depending on condition etc. ideally after one of the 00’s builds (the ones with the tapered fret ends - if you know you know) using wills photos at the moment but I’ll get my own stunning photography up later lol. gimme a shout for more details. Come over for a tea and neerd out gear session I have years of feedback on BC. all the best guys!

Have photos of the neck pocket and body so confirmed as a transition bass which is cool. So I’ll go and pick this up in the week if someone else doesn’t beat me to it! Thanks for the help guys -

Robert Manning replied to Robert Manning's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
thanks man will do! I’m genna head over to his and take a look. he’s never taken the neck off… so can’t confirm the date. I might see if he’s willing to let me do that… I found this sold on will’s site which essentially looks very similar with the white covers. which is reassuring. again thank you for the knowledge and advice. https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/1981-fender-precision-bass/ -

Robert Manning replied to eubassix's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I used to have one of these sold mine over 13 years ago i think- same finish with a tort guard seen it pop up on ebay since.. bass direct had another which sold for 450 few months ago. was a decent build quality but rather heavy. ultra thin neck if i remember rightly Could never find any info on these they are quite a mystery...
