owenfielding Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) i have a pristine instrument for sale, a Yamaha BBNE-2 Nathan East signature model in black and 5-string; 34 inch scale and 24 frets. This instrument is amazing! check it out on the Yamaha site or at Nathan East's site. It's a thru-neck beast with ebony fingerboard inlaid with figured abalone, mother of pearl tuners, bridge with individual saddles, maple and alder body, maple and mahogony neck, 2 Alnico V-stack humbucker pickups, active, great eq and tone controls, and gold hardware. looks so cool. It is quite a rare instrument as Yamaha only produce around 50 of these each year! It comes in the original case and is absolutely unmarked and orginal; sounds awesome and plays like a dream maintaining very accurate intonation. make me an offer around £1300. sorry but i'm only interested in a sale, no swaps or trades. thanks. owen.

owenfielding Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 hi and thanks for your interest. i have no idea what the market value is; i intended to call a coupla bass stores and ask a dealer friend. the black models seem to be a bit rarer than the white and are going for around £1400 but i'll check it out. as i said, i'm open to sensible offers. thanks. owen.
Kiwi Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I've played this bass in a shop and it definitely made me go 'oooh'. Lovely supple feel and a warm growly sound. I know another member, Vipa, bought one a few months back on my suggestion and he's completely in love with it.
Mike Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I think I love these. However, it's lucky it's not in the blue finish, or else I would be remortgaging the house instead of typing this!

sesanbass Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 [font="Trebuchet MS"]Hi, I would love to own this BB NE2 but really can't afford £1300. Can you confirm if it's still available and you're open to negotiations, thank. [/font]
sesanbass Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I'm in Bristol - why? DO you have an BB NE2 for sale?
