Pink label, serial dates it to July 1997. I love the sounds of this chorus, it is warm and lush and I’ll probably regret selling it, but as is, everything not nailed down needs selling! Located Isle of Wight, price includes recorded delivery. Also, it was quite difficult to price. So please let me know if I’m miles off here. -
Thank you so much, honestly, I’m about to pull the plug on this one! Agreed on what you say, it’s the most comfortable bass I’ve owned and by far my favourite. There have been a couple of strong enquiries made and as both fell through I was somewhat relieved. Plus, I’ve managed to shift some other gear to cover Christmas expenses, so think we’re all good. -
34”. Great B though ☺️

once you've played a 5 string what's the point of 4?
M@23 replied to DDR's topic in General Discussion
I’ve not gigged a 4 string for probably 7 or 8 years. The only one I own is my Squier Mini P, but if learning songs or jamming at home I’ll grab that before my 5, probably for convenience more than anything as it’s guitar sized. I think a few years ago I’d never have entertained a 4, again. But now, I enjoy it all over again. Don’t think it makes me play differently, just a nice change of scenery. -
Brand new! Posted UK for £15 -
Purple and sparkly! great sound, just unused and need the money! Price includes recorded UK delivery. -

Times are tough, so unfortunately I have to make attempts to sell my bass. Made in Japan Yamaha BBP35 with Yamaha hard case. The bass sounds excellent, plays wonderfully and is in good condition. Yamaha say: Made in Japan, this is the ultimate BB, featuring an Alder/Maple/Alder construction treated with Yamaha’s unique IRA technology, a six-bolt miter neck joint, and a diagonally strung convertible bridge. I’d say it is in “good player’s condition”. It came from Bass Bros as it is today, described and sold as “immaculate”. Which it isn’t, if you’re a collector. The pick guard and pickup covers have dulled from play and there is a mark behind the bridge where the previous owner had let the B string rub the finish when changing strings. At least, that seems mostly likely cause to me. the neck and headstock ARE immaculate. There are no dings, chips, dents of any kind. It’s just a really lovely bass, they’re my favourite and this one feels and sounds (somewhat) like a vintage instrument. It does everything well in its own BB-esque way. Weighs in at a shade under 8.9lbs, which is pretty light for a BB! Located Isle of Wight, collection from here, Southampton/Portsmouth/Lymington preferred.

Apologies wrong forum!

Exactly this, nailed it. What a stupid thread.

Can work brilliantly. I did it for years in the last band. There’s a huuuge thread on the subject:
-
I bought a Sadowsky MV5, Japanese one that was superbly built - as they all are/were, but after the initial excitement of having a Sadowsky subsided, on gigging it, it just wasn’t for me. I bought a Sire V7 as backup and preferred mostly everything about it. So while I agree the Sadowsky was objectively “better”, I didn’t prefer it and it wasn’t a better gigging tool, for me. These “what’s better” threads are a great way to build a shortlist of stuff to try - but if you’re like I was at the time and just trying things on a whim based on internet praise and appreciation, it may not be a keeper, even though it is the “best”.

Grabbed this from Facebook for less than the cost of 3 pints! Surprised to see it’s from July 97 - it’s in great nick and sounds wonderful.

Cool 🙂 be nice to see a passive 5 string P bass, please.
-
Yep, one at BassBros, which has some fairly distinctive marks - so worth a look. Do you have a record of the serial number?
