bump!

Bump for a temporary insane price reduction! Basically I'd rather have one less thing to move and I'm moving in the next 10 days or so (solicitors paperwork permitting) therefore until I actually move this is reduced to £549 + shipping; if it hasn't sold by the time I move then I'm either stringing it E-C and keeping it or it's going up to Bass Direct for a commission sale. Either way this is the cheapest way to get your hands on a basically new BB1025X.

Bump!

Sunny Saturday bump!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1336484068' post='1646216'] Ah I would've bitten at that price but I've gone and bought a double bass this week. :/ Have a bump on me though, it's a lovely looker. [/quote] Thanks - hope you're getting on well with the 42" scale!

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1335915113' post='1638146'] When the revised SG was launched in '76 there were four models in the range, the 500, 700, 1000 and 2000. The 500 was available in solid black and solid red, the 700, 1000 and 2000 in "red burst", with the 700 also being available in solid brown while the 1000 and 2000 were also available in "brown burst". There were a number of differences across the range, most notably the 500 and 700 featuring a lower quality version of the semi-open humbucker pickup and less precise tuners. The 500 remained in the catalogue until '79/'80, when it was superseded by the 600, before reappearing in '83 as the 510. At launch the 500 retailed for Y50,000 and came with a brown leather "Yamaha" branded gig bag, although a hardcase could be ordered for an additional Y18,000. [/quote] Thanks a lot for the info! I always thought the SG700 was released in the 80s. Cheers

D'oh. I'm a bit slow this evening, price now added. Cheers

[color=#000000]Not to be confused with the much later Taiwanese SG500B, this is a genuine 1977, made in Japan, set neck SG500. When this was released, the Yamaha SG range had only 3 models, SG500, SG1000 and SG2000. The SG500 was a no-frills, stripped back version of the SG1000 lacking a maple top and coil taps but still had the set neck joint, binding, inlays and all the same hardware.[/color] [color=#000000]This is in very good and original condition with some wear to the back of the body and a few minor knocks as can be seen in the photos; there is also some wear to the pickups. Interestingly it looks like the pickups have a solid brass cover as the wear shows that it's black paint that has worn off. Very little fretwear and it's been recently set up and frets have been dressed. The top of the second volume knob seems to have come off as can be seen in the photo but the little metal markers are still there - they often get lost on these. No breaks, no structural damage, no repairs. None of the wear affects playability.[/color] [color=#000000]Sounds incredible, very easy to get really Santana-esque sounds - no coil taps which is how it was built but if you wanted to it should be straightforward to add these. Nice low action and very easy to play.[/color] [color=#000000]According to the guy I bought it off, it used to belong to someone who wrote songs for the Sugababes. Now if that's not rock history I don't know what is. Sadly (?) I have no way of verifying this (otherwise I guess I'd get it auctioned off at Bonhams...)[/color] [color=#000000]I need to raise funds and create space due to a house move otherwise this would definitely be staying; I already have one twin humbucker set neck guitar and therefore can't justify having two.[/color] [color=#000000]Am located in Salisbury but am regularly up and down the M3 and A34 so happy to meet along those roads or anywhere within reasonable distance; otherwise postage will be £20 using Interparcel/UPS.[/color] [color=#000000]Looking for £375 ono[/color]

bump!

evening bump, forgot how quick this forum moves!

I'll happily throw in a can of black spray paint if that helps...

Give in! They really are fantastic basses, reminds me of my old BB1000 - if someone had bought my BB NE when I had it up for sale earlier this year I'd definitely be keeping the BB1025X but sadly this has to go.
