Yamaha BB734A in excellent condition (like new), includes the original case (also in like new condition) and case candy (allen keys, control panel overlay, 9v battery etc) Very versatile active passive option along with PJ pickup configuration. Yamaha have put some serious engineering into this bass with the 6 bolt miter neck joint (it seriously sustains!). This bass has only been used a handful of times, mainly in my practice room at home. Stored in a clean, dry and pet free space. Only selling to fund another music project. Cash only on collection, no postage, shipping or trades. However, I am flexible to meeting up halfway somewhere reasonable if that would help (just ask!). What Yamaha say: The Workhorse - Music isn't just something you “do” anymore — it's your life. Every time you get on stage or hit the record button you've got to feel content in the knowledge that you’re playing an instrument with the versatility, durability, and superb sound that will guarantee your performances are consistently on point. Combining the crisp, penetrating tone, and serious flexibility of active pickups with the punch and sustain of a 6-bolt miter neck joint, the 700 models can be relied on to deliver an extraordinarily versatile sound that you can adapt to any genre or environment The BB for the working pro, the BB700 series features a versatile active/passive pickup configuration with a three-band EQ, six-bolt miter neck joint, Alder/Maple/Alder construction, and a diagonally strung convertible bridge. Alder/maple/alder body construction 6-Bolt miter neck joint 5-piece neck YGD custom V7 pickups (Alnico V) 3-Band active EQ Battery alert LED Vintage Plus Bridge with convertible bridge and saddles Lightweight open-gear tuners

Which BB pickups have the most top end/treble? Is it the blade ones or a different setup? 734A most definitely sounds vintage (ala Fender) voiced to me, which is not a bad thing to me as i love the classic Fender P 1962 tone. If i wanted another BB with more top end what would I go for? (Just interested in BB models at the mo...i appreciate that I can change pickups as its a standard route)

Mark just brought my Yamaha BBPH, drove to mine and paid cash. Nice bloke, great communication and accommodated my requests as a seller. Pleasure to do business with!

I did a thread about this bass over on TB. This sold in auction in 2021 for $496,100 (US) which apparently is the most money a bass has ever raised

I also hate the idea of painted necks, but find the paint on my 734a and BBPH really nice and matte, like a good satin neck. I also have a bass with a roasted maple neck and the feel isn't a million miles apart.

I've heard different things about the pick ups on these, some say they're wound humbucking under the cover, some say single coil. Any ideas what they are? Usually the hum gives it away, plus more top end presence that a tradition P pickup
