Yamaha BBEast 5 String - Nathan East Signature with NE1 £750

[hairyhatman]

Needs must and I now need to shift this one to get some space back.

I bought this about 12 years ago from [i]The Bass Gallery[/i] in Camden for £1K. [size=4]Has [/size]obligatory[size=4] buckle rash and couple of dings and scratches as befits a gigged bass item of this age. The pre-shaper three way selector knob is a bit loose so I think just needs a proper screw in there. I'll have a look at it.[/size]

[size=4]To be honest I've fiddled with string and [/size]pick-up[size=4] height, and the adjustable EQ quite a bit to try and get the tone I wanted it. (I failed by the way). So depending on how good you are at adjusting this stuff it might require a [/size]set-up[size=4] But plays fine for me. Fitted with [i]Elites - Nathan East[/i] strings (47s)[/size]

The unique BB body is made of maple and alder for a fat sound with plenty of definition.The gold plate bridge features provide precise intonation,a low profile,and elegant look. The stacked Alnico humbuckers run through a 5 control active electronics,which feature a custom 3 band EQ with a switchable mid-cut to provide sonic versatility for any situation.[/i]

[size=4]£750 for the bass and case. Delivery at your expense I'm afraid just because I've no idea how much it would cost to where you are. Happy to drive for 30 minutes from Kingston in Surrey to deliver, or to meet you half way if that helps.[/size]
