    Tried one of a friend's a few years back (when they first released), good specs on paper but seemed lacking in my hands for quality and tone and one style, one finish didn't offer much ( I know we like having some options too 😉) . Cool if you can find one for a good price and that's your thing but ideally, as ever, try before you buy. I always had high hopes for (Rob) Chapman to create a range of guitars and basses given his experience and knowledge but the basses are no longer made and the guitars have seem to have lost their sparkle. Chapman guitars only seem good if you're close friends with Rob and fancy a signature 😂

    If you know, you know 😂

    Bought and sold with Craig a few times over recent years. Absolute top bloke, down to earth and understanding. I also have the unfortunate experience of dealing with @AndyTravison a regular basis 😜🤣 who previously owned and worked on this bass. Both top lads and know a thing about a Yamaha bass. So buy here with confidence and bag yourself a bargain at £275!! 😉👌🏻

    And you don't mean the thing on the left? How many strings?! 😅
  5. bigsmokebass
    How does the neck hold up? Always thought with the tension from the C string would require a second truss rod.
  6. bigsmokebass
    The leather face bass? 👀
  7. bigsmokebass
    Maybe it's for a Steinberger styled Jazz bass? 😅
  8. bigsmokebass
    Whoop! Whoop! 🥳😂
  9. bigsmokebass
    Very nice 😉👌🏻 got that MIJ/Westone/Aria look about it. Throw some strap buttons on it though
  10. bigsmokebass
    Which would be big a sale factor? Some would say its the best of both worlds 😜😂
  11. bigsmokebass
    Still here?! 👀
  12. bigsmokebass
    Damn, Jens Ritter sure knows how to combine bass and art. Not my colour but neither would I turn it down all the same 😂 Merry Christmas, glwts 🎅👍🏻
  13. bigsmokebass
    Some camera obscura trickery 😅😂 all the same, more sexy shots to see and that finish is remarkable 😍
  14. bigsmokebass
    What's the action like? Don't know whether it's the lighting but looks pretty high up/bowed neck
  15. bigsmokebass
    Forget Tony Kanal, Andy Trav, the yamaha bass man's, actual Yamaha bass for sale. 😉👌🏻 For anyone who doesn't know, top guy and not a bad comedian either. Buy here with confidence 😁🤙🏻
  16. bigsmokebass
    Just noticed as I come back onto the listings 😅 still on the search for the perfect bass?
  17. bigsmokebass
    So the yamaha won? 🧐
  18. bigsmokebass
    Bill Wyman? 😂
  19. bigsmokebass
    Pretty sure he has a pick guard for my BB I purchased about 3 years ago 😜 wouldn't say no if he's still got it 🤣
  20. bigsmokebass
    I do like the aesthetics of the fender more but I think and feel the yamaha would be one I'd keep. Perhaps find a nice pick guard for it?

    Haven't played on but I've heard good things about Fernandes guitars and basses. I believe they make Burny (someone correct me?) Which make superb Gibson copies, some competing with serious money models. Are you able to check it out in person and get a hands on experience? Most Japanese made instruments seem to be top notch 👍🏻

    Guild is a good shout but I do like the Hagstrom Viking bass. I know a few players on here will also vouch for Epiphone Jack Cassady too but scale length and handedness may be undesirable (unsure whether they make a lefty)
  23. bigsmokebass
    I'd look at the Yamaha BB200/400 series. Fantastic basses and got brilliant construction and sound, especially with the B string. Lots of comfort and clarity

    Having played a few and not knowing what your budget is, I'd recommend finding a store that has a variety of these models available to try out and see what you think in person and hands on. I understand people like to have "the original McCoy" and pay top dollar, nothing wrong with that but not always to everyone's affordability and some of these cheaper models are pretty damn good for the money and a fraction of the cost of their American sibling. I'd be tempted to give them a go and even report back what you thought 😁 As much as I liked the ones I played (whilst working in a guitar store) I'm not one for active basses, or I'd have one 👍🏻

    You'll have to stop selling the sort I like, just saying 😉😂 at least it's sold, nice bass and I'm sure the new owner is happy 😁👍🏻
