jrixn1 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) [size=5][b][i]27th Jan: This has now been sold[/i][/b][/size] [size=5][b][i]Updated price: £250[/i][/b][/size] For sale only - no trades. The BB425X is a passive five-string PJ bass. The two control pots are master volume and tone. There is a three-position switch to choose which pickup: neck, both, or bridge. You can string either through the body or through the bridge. Currently strung through the bridge with Rotosound Swing Bass 45-130 roundwounds. This bass was purchased new in March, 2013. It is in very good condition: see photos, below. The bathroom scales weight is 4.7kg (10lb 6oz). Official Yamaha page: [url="http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/bb/bb425x/?mode=model"]http://uk.yamaha.com...25x/?mode=model[/url] Small tiny marks on the bottom edge: N.B. It might look like a scratch on the pickguard, just under where the neck starts -- but it's just a rug hair: Tiny dinglets on back of neck: No case included, sorry. But I have the original boxes. Bass is located in Wimbledon. Collection (and try-out) is welcome. Or I could possibly deliver or meet half way, if you are in the south-east -- please PM to discuss. Or I can post within the UK for £10. Edited January 27, 2015 by jrixn1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 These are terrific basses. I've used a 424x for the last 18 months and have no GAS whatsoever. I haven't owned a 425 but I have played one a few times and I find the B absolutely fine. Not mindblowing but definitely good enough and punches well above it's price point! The new Yamaha BBs are, in my opinion, the best passive basses money can buy. GLWTS! Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
