If your considering dipping a toe into the murky world of 5 string bass then I can throughly recommend this. So easy to play,great range of sounds. 18mm string spacing . Loads of tonal variations. I finally clicked with 5 strings once I got this. Unfortunately it's no longer needed as there is no need for it in my current band.

After being strung with flat wounds on for years. It really comes alive with the Brand new D'Addario nickel wounds on it.

I had a bit of success last night. Decided to make an effort at sorting the truss rod issue out. Took the neck off as I was struggling to get a 5 mm Allen key into the access point where the neck meets the body. Give it a good Dosing of penetrating oil and left it to soak. Soon at I tried the Allen key in the truss tod nut it turned easy in both directions. Happy to report it now has a fully functioning truss rod. Just need to set it up now. Think the plastic insert that lines the truss rod access point was stopping me getting the Allen key all the way to get sufficient torque on it to turn it. Need to amended my advert now.

Am not sure at the moment if my others Yamaha's sell then I may keep it for now as its a bit different to my P basses that I now play.

Still got a BB734A that am trying to convince myself to sell too.

Interested in trades for a 4 String Jazz bass or player series Jaguar bass Never thought I would do this but am now looking for a new home for my BB 424x. I've had it a good few years and it's seen off all the competition from my other basses, Stingrays Ibanez SR series, Jazz basses and many others. This thing has just slotted in perfectly for gigs ranging from dodgy boozers to festivals. I have recorded with it and again it sounded awesome. Reason i am selling all my Yamaha's is I've just fallen for the look and simplicity of a precision. This has brand new D'Addario 45-105 Nickel wounds on. The fretboard a has just been oiled and its ready to gig. Nice low action. Everything works as it should. Collection from Huyton, Liverpool or meet up in the North West. Can post at buyers expense and risk.

Still looking for a new home for this fantastically made quality 5 string. Could be temptedb by a trade for a jazz bass

Price Dropped to £180 Yamaha BB 414. Great player. Sounds fantastic. Lovely Rosewood fret board. Just been oiled and polished. Neck feels a lot slimmer than the 424 series that I used too own. Truss Rod is free to move and works correctly. Electrics all work fine with no hum or buzzing. Few marks up by the top of the head stock but overall in very good condition. Used this at many rehersals and gigs and band members often asked me to use this bass over my more expensive ones. Weight is 4.1 kg. Collection from Huyton Liverpool, or meet up in the North West. Can post at buyers expense and risk.

Bump for a fantastic playing 5 string bass. Being a Yamaha you get the exceptional build quality, fit and finish rightly associated with brand. Currently strung with Cobalt flats but I can replace them with an almost new set of DR Hi Beams if preferred.

Comes with a strong Thomann leatherette gig bag Yamaha BB425x. Very good condition. Full of great useable tones. Very easy to play. No longer playing 5 strings so it's not getting the use it deserves. Collection. From Huyton, Liverpool where your welcome to try it out. Can arrange to meet up in the North West. Possibly post at buyers expense and risk.

Hi can you give me an idea of what's the neck width like.

Would be interested in using this as as a part exchange towards a Jazz type, or short scale 4 string. With cash your way. Lightweight cab also considered or Ashdown RM EVO 500 amp also of interest. Fantastic lightweight introduction to the world of 5 string bass. Like most Harley Benton basses, this is a really well put together bass. 18mm sting spacing. Very easy to play. Roswel pickups sound really good and punch well above their weight. Used this in a good few 4 hour rehearsals, very light on the shoulders and it sounds great too. Lot of useable tones avilable with the PJ configuration. Have now bought a BB425X so this one needs to find a new home. As I don't plan on moving exclusively to 5 strings I don't need more than one of them. In great condition. Would make a great first step into 5 string bass or really good back up bass. Collection or meet up in Merseyside or the Northwest.
