juliusmonk Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Hi all NOW 230£ SHIPPING INCLUDED For sale my Yamaha BBG4SII. Bought it new as a backup, but no gigs + recent acquisitions mean it probably should go. It is a rock solid, active bass in virtually mint condition, except for the gold hardware somewhat tarnished (typical of this model, I believe), with two humbuckers and controls for vol/bal/bass/treble. The fretboard is a beautiful piece of rosewood, and it has a great satin neck with nicely figured maple. Stays in tune forever. The E string is particularly resonant, with very positive action. It has a broad range of solid tones, personally I would say it lends itself mainly to pop and rock - it can go from super woody to very snappy on the bridge PU. I would definitely keep it as it is fun to occasionally play, but I am bewitched by hi-fi basses and uncontrollable GAS... Anyhow, I found it difficult to set a price, so I've followed my rule of 60% of what I paid for it new. So it's 250£, shipping included, with a gig bag. A rockcase semi-rigid would be extra. Paypal accepted.

Oopsdabassist Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Great bass if mine is anything to go by, its my go to bass over 2 fenders and an Epi EB0, so comfortable and easy to play, and I never get a bad tone. Good luck with the sale dude.
juliusmonk Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Yes, indeed. I tried a dozen different basses in the same price range and there was no comparison. It also smokes all later BBs imho. Cheers
