Bobby K Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Hello again BCers. Here we have a black Yamaha BB424 for sale. I bought this on a bit of a whim a couple of months back, as I was really missing having a P/J equipped bass and I do love the Yams, as some of you may know... Then, lo and behold, my dream Yamaha (a BB2000 in natural) appeared on ebay and I just had to snap it up!! So this black one has now become a bit redundant, second fiddle, to say the least and as money is ever scarce in the Bobby K household, I really need to move it on. It's a fantastic bass, typical Yamaha quality and in great condition and in complete working order. There are a couple of cosmetic issues worth mentioning however. Firstly, there is a small "crack" in the surface of the wood at the top of the neck, in between the two darker laminate stripes, just below the headstock. I must emphasise that this is only at the very surface of the wood and the bass is absolutely sound structurally. The previous owner said it was caused by the way it was displayed on a hanger, at the shop he bought it from. I've tried to capture it in the pics anyway. It may be possible to sand it out. (I had a little go myself and improved the appearance a bit, but gave up. I finished it with a very fine grit an covered over with a couple of layers of Tru oil) - anyway, as I said, it's purely a cosmetic issue. The other cosmetic issue with the bass can be seen in some very prominent buckle rash on the back of the body. I tried my best to photograph this but because of the gloss black finish, it was really hard to capture (see pic, where the back of the bass is basically like a mirror! You can just make out some streaks/marks in the middle of the back of the bass. The other marks in that pic are simply dust) I may try and get a better pic. The rash is basically a number of grey streaks on the gloss black finish. Other than these two issues, the bass is very clean, with just the usual insignificant signs of use you'd find with a used bass. No electrical issues whatsoever and the bass sounds fab. The bass is in Liverpool. There is no case but the bass will be packed well. Looking for £180 delivered. If you can pick it up, I'll take 160. Pics to follow when I can get the kids off the computer !(school holidays - d'oh!!) Edited August 5, 2013 by Bobby K

Bobby K Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Definitely mate. Very underrated, as I always say...
Greggo Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I've recently taken a shine to these basses and really want one, but to be able to afford need to shift a couple of basses out!
Bobby K Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 A lot of people in the same boat I think Greggo This is still available
