redbandit599 Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Hi all Have literally just un-boxed my shiny new Yamaha BB1025x - looks lush and a quick plunk makes me think it'll sound it too. But just thought I should share the 'opportunity' with the Basschat massive as I picked it up from Bax for £530 - going rate seems to be about £770 everywhere else. Nice gig bag and a little maintenance kit 'gift.' I had mine on order for a while but they've come into stock now. Colour options at this price are as per Henry Ford ;-) [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/right-handed-bass-guitar/yamaha-bb1025x-5-string-electric-bass-guitar-black"]https://www.bax-shop...ss-guitar-black[/url] and no, I don't work for Bax.

redbandit599 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Posted September 9, 2016 I agree. Just plugged it in - very happy 😃 Quote
dannybuoy Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Black is the best colour for these anyway! I have the same bass, truly a keeper. Quote
Delberthot Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I had a caramel BB1025 and it was much much better in the flesh than the awful reddy colour it looks like on every website. Fantastic basses with super hot output and the best precision bass I've ever owned bar none Quote
NoirBass Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) The one Delberthot had is mine now. I have used it for every gig I've had since. Wonderful basses. I really want to try a 2025 now to see what the difference is. Edited September 10, 2016 by NoirBass Quote
Paul S Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Are you able to weigh it by any chance? I am seriously tempted.... Quote
Highfox Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Vey nice, great basses. I had one and loved the sound but unfortunately found out I didn't get on with 5's. Quote
redbandit599 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Hi all - I weighed last night on the kitchen digital scales - 10lb 3oz, so not super light but not bad. About the same as my Sandberg California 5 string. Very nicely balanced. J Quote
Paul S Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Thank you for that. You just saved me £534! Quote
redbandit599 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 Had a bash at a rehearsal with the new BB - it's BBloody BBrilliant! Three distinct and usable tones at the flick of the pick up selector switch, nice neck - not quite as comfy as my Sandberg but that would be asking quite a lot. Rock machine! Quote
