sifi2112 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) FS - Yamaha BBN5 (alder body / maple neck / rosewood FB)... I intended to mod this even further & make it headless& use a spare but although the low B is ok it doesn't take low A as well as Id like & drop A is our tuning (my main bass is a Dingwall so 37" vs 34" is perhaps not a fair race) ... I've re-shaped the headstock & horns and replaced the pickups with new DiMarzio Ultra Jazz (hum cancelling) & new vol/tone pots including a 5-way pup selector switch (B,series,parallel,series out of phase,N), schaller strap locks (bit of neck dive as tuners are a little heavy but sits horizontal on my slippy strap), re-string with new Rotosound RS swing bass 45-105 + 140 (have spare new B string which I'll include as well as the original single coil pups unless they sell 1st) .. powder coated bridge (not the saddles) Sanded down then stained / tru-oiled body & headstock, tru-oil can regularly reapplied btw ... Price doesn't include postage & I'd rather you tried this bass out but sure we can come to some arrangement ... cash / paypal / bank transfer. Possible trade for 35" scale 5 Edited September 4, 2014 by sifi2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifi2112 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) B is fine ... I got/modded this bass as a backup for my Dingwall but it doesn't handle drop A as well as I'd hoped for, hence the sale but I am spoilt a bit with the Dingwall. You're welcome to come try it out ... also check on talkbass as the BBN5 gets pretty good write ups .... it's a good bass for a reasonable price I think. Any other questions just ask away Edited July 4, 2014 by sifi2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
