This is exactly the same as the Nathan East bass but with a different pre amp and a rosewood fretboard. The sound is amazing and the ability to change tone is impressive. It has a nice mid cut feature. The hardware has been taken off a Nathan East BBNE2. Few dings on the back and hairline crack on a tuning peg but the front looks great. And it plays lovely.

alexgrout_ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just to reiterate it has the bbne2 hardware on it from the actual bbne2. The tuners are mother of pearl. The original chromate hardware has been removed and replaced with this bbne2 hardware to make this identical to play to the bbne2. I know as I have a bbne2 with another on the way.

jogi Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Alex, do you still have the original hardware? I'd love to set up my BBNE2 with chrome hardware... Great bass, by the way! I have a BB2004 that I really love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hello mate - where are you based by the way? Is it Made in Japan, and can I ask what it weighs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgrout_ Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 The bass is made in Taiwan but I also have a BBNE2 and it plays just like the Japanese model. The bass itself has hardware from the Japanese model. It's not particularly heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
