Doctor J Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I sold my one last year for €350, I think it was. Lovely bass. The price being asked is a bit steep, I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Worth mentioning @briansbrewthey never did a factory fretless so it’s been messed with. and @Machines it’s already bought and paid for sunshine. You can have it when I inevitably sell it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it was, it was noticeably wider at the nut than a traditional Jazz Bass (38mm) and that's what threw me a bit at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to worry, Yamaha like to create custom basses for artists to keep them on the roster and stop them going elsewhere, but will never make them avaiable as production models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....... but no.......but yes, but no, but yes...... Understated walnut top.....unmarked fingerboard....Nordstrand BigBladeMan (or whatever it is.....) They've been tapping into my most private dirty little bassdreams again. And it doesn't matter that they won't make them available (although the PH bass....) because I am already casting threatening looks at my 434, and thinking about hot air guns and veneers and it's all a bit of a worry....

To be fair the BB can sound a bit bass heavy and for someone like JLo the Dimarzio’s probably offer a more fitting p bass tone for his needs. I was just commenting on the difference between my p bass and the BB. The BB is much more bassy - not better or worse just (noticeable) different.
