Rarest Yamaha BB ever !!

[Turk]

Why is this one of the rarest BB's ever ? Well, this one actually has a weak neck !!

Just dropped it off to be sorted.

Truss rod replaced with a duo-direction jobbie, neck reinforced with two carbon rods, finish restored to pre work condition, electrics checked/serviced and a full set up with strings included.

Go on then...let's have some educated guesses at the price. Edited September 25, 2013 by Turk

I dare say it won't be cheap, but it will be so worth it.

Gorgeous bass, I'll have a punt. 300?

[Turk]

Not far off there. £200 to £250 max.

[Horizontalste]

Definitely worth it to keep a nice bass alive.

Lovely BB. Big fan and I just have the BB414 bet that is a delight to play

Looking forward to finding out myself. Had it about a year and now I'm getting around to sorting it.

Could only use light gauge strings to get a reasonably low action, and even then it wasn't that low. A set of DR Lo-riders will be going on next, which are great on my BB3000.

Finally got it back this afternoon. The photo shows the carbon fibre inserts used to reinforce the neck..

So did you set it up? How doe's it play?

Neck issue is now sorted and It plays nice. I'll use it for a week or so, then take it do my regular techie for a check and tweak.
