tezza-j Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) SOLD....... Sorry for my first post here being an ad but I have for sale a 1980's Yamaha BB2000 with original Yamaha hard case. Everything is straight and working and it's almost mint apart from a couple of small grooves on the top and a ding on the underside. Apart from those everything is very clean. I'm based in London of anyone wants a look. I'm on Ebay with 599 trades and 100 pct feedback. Thanks! Terry Edited March 26, 2013 by tezza-j
Bobby K Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 And suddenly I'm completely distracted! ! The king of the Yams, right there... (Frantically thinking of ways to get the money together. ..!)

Bobby K Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I know mate, but I've given up on finding the natural. It was a total over reaction. Afterwards I realised that I simply just don't have the cash, for this or any natural version that may turn up. The mutt's nuts from the Yamaha golden age - somebody buy it, you won't be disappointed ;-)
discreet Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 That's it, I'm off down the pub. I can't seem to look at anything without gassing for it.
martin8708 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Wow , you don't see these very often , and I think the tabacco burst is the best colour . As prev said , King of the Yamahas , and great bass for 700 squids .

[quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1363644442' post='2015343']I think the tabacco burst is the best colour .[/quote] It's just the quality of the image making you think the finish is darker than it is. It'll be redburst, as there was no tobaccoburst version of the 2000.
tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Bobby I have a clip of me playing This Charming Man in the original track if it helps to focus your mind!
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Hi tezza Don't worry mate. I know the sheer quality of these and need absolutely no convincing at all. My BB1200 is tremendous, but it would be nice to have the option of the bridge pickup now and again. I just need 695 pounds lol.
MB1 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 MB1. Got your name written all over it....Yamaha Bob!
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Cheers Martin. Shame my bank account has overdrawn written all over it lol... As for the colour, noel is right, it's the red burst; same as Hooky's famous BB1200 (and Macca's of course! ) Edited March 19, 2013 by Bobby K

tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 btw, where are you in Liverpool? I'm from Wavertree originally.
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Haha I'm in Wavertree mate, just off Lance Lane. Small world an all that...
tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 hilarious, i was just off Picton Road in the 'Dales
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Like I say mate, would love this but just not in the market unfortunately. It's my most wanted bass, for sure though. I'm always on the lookout for one, especially unaltered ones and even more especially the yellow natural version. They turn up like very late buses lol and usually when I'm skint, like now! Will I keep my eye on this though? Of course I will lol, I like torture :-)
tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 No problem. Your fellow forum members seem to think this has your name on it! I'd love to hear it do some live Smiths stuff too. I'll keep it off Ebay for now. Cheers Tez
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I don't think you'll have any problems selling it tez. A true classic.
tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I see you know Mark Reader. My Brother Alan was in his band for a a few years...
Bobby K Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 That must've been Strider? Yeah, Mark is a top bloke. He's got a nice little studio in Bootle, done a couple of sessions for him.
tezza-j Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 yep. He played bass for them. Runs in the family!
