badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Was wondering how much is the Yamaha BB-G5A worth? I know nothing about yamaha bass. Been offer a trade for my Fender Classic 60 jazz bass. Edited March 25, 2015 by badboy1984 Quote
geoffbyrne Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I paid £80 for mine in mediocre nick. Keep your Fender. Look up Ebay for completed sales for the BB G5A. G. Quote
40hz Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 IIRC those Yamaha's retailed at £299 about 10 years ago. So 2nd hand value, even for a minter wouldn't be much more than £150. I'd keep the Fender (it's worth considerably more. You'd be getting done somewhat in a trade) Quote
badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I only know about the TRB line which cost abit, i guess I will keep the Fender. Another guy offer to trade his Tune 6 string lined fretless bass for my Fender. I assume is a straight swap, I know Tune bass is not cheap and the early one is made in japan i think. Quote

Thing with Tune basses is that their are two companies called Tune making bass guitars... One is a quality Japanese manufacturer and the other is Korean based and makes slightly lower prices instruments. The one I had was Korean. Very different beasts a Tune fretless sixer and a Fender, that's quite a trade... Edited March 25, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I will see how it goes. I guess the dude don't get on with fretless and 6 string and would prefer a fender jazz. Quote

[/quote] I would say they are two basses of comparable second hand price... although a Fender would be a lot easier to shift obviously so would be more valuable IMHO. Quote
badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I've already got a westone fretless 4 string, altho I would prefer a 6 string tune fretted but the fretless is tempting. Not sure how much I will be using ...... Quote
badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I think is one of these but line fretless. http://www.tuneguitars.com/product/twb6.php Not sure is it fretless original or defret. If is defret I can always put the frets back on i guess? Quote
badboy1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 After some research. More like this one http://www.vsnguitars.com/tune-twx62-sw-6-string-bass-snow-white-finish/ Quote

You could always have it re-fretted but it will cost obviously... also this will be much harder to sell than a fender should you change your mind. I'd have to swap out that gold hardware though!
