aryustailm Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I'm looking to sell my BB2025X as I've accumulated rather more instruments than I "need", and I already have a BB5000 that satisfies my BB lust (for now...). Fantastic instrument that to my ears does bigger, meatier Fender-esque tones. The bridge pup sounds thicker and less honky than a standard J, and the P has all the qualities of a regular P enhanced: full bodied low end, tonnes of thump, can get very aggressive or very warm and textured. Super-charged version of classic tones. The neck has a really nice finish that makes shifting around feel super smooth. The fingerboard has a fairly flat/shallow radius, and the neck profile is slim and elegant making it one of the nicest necks I've ever played. The width at the nut is ~4.2cm. 34" scale. There's some very light scratching / buckle rash on the back which I've tried to show in the pics - it only really shows up under a bright light at the just right angle, but thought it best to mention. These are well over £2000 new! Includes the original Yamaha hard case (one of the four clasps doesn't work however). Currently strung with a set of D'Addario EXL170-5TPs. Collection from London is preferred, though would consider posting if you're happy to incur the costs (and risks!)

Black Coffee Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Oh man this is my ultimate bass. I'm about £1300 short though. Perfect colour too. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby K Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 BARGAIN considering how much these are new! Very worthy of a bump ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aryustailm Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks all Ideally I'm looking to sell, but I could probably be tempted by modern/meaty/growly sounding 5 strings such as a Musicman Sterling 5 HH, G&L L-2500, Dingwall Combustion, or something along those lines?

Subbeh Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It helps that the pictures are so great but sometimes you see a bass and everything about it just looks really high quality. This is one of those basses GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasparV Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Great bass. Would you be interested in a trade w a Sadowsky Metro MV-5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryustailm Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 As tempting as it is, I'm mostly looking for a meaty humbucker / switching type bass rather than a jazz at the moment (though preferably a sale). Thanks for the offer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
