Dinna worry, I'm watching the tracking like a hawk, as soon as it's at the local depot, I'll be down there. Pretty sure I read somewhere that you don't have to wait for the demand, you can just rock up and pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently owned its sibling in the sunburst finish, also from 78. Great bass with lots of oomph. Unfortunately, I recently had to sell it to pay some bills. Sad but true 😞 Maybe someone here got it (sold it via BassBros). Whoever got it - you got yourself a great bargain! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's blurry as I've had to zoom in lots on a compressed fb image, but look at that dark bit of grain to the top left of the volume knob compared to your picture above.

Maude Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I'm really finding it hard not to contact the seller. He wants to trade it for a 2000 or 3000 but I keep wondering if he'd like an outright sale. I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it... ... But I want it. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know, you know... Exactly. I got the bass from the Bass Hunter in Japan. So far, he managed to find "one" replacement knob. I asked him to keep on looking for a second one and then send me both together to save postage costs. Well, I don't need them anymore but whoever buys the BB, now you know that you only need to find one 🙂 Please feel free to write to Danny if you want the knob. I paid for it (¥2,154, March this year) and I am happy to donate it to the new owner of my BB. Merry Christmas 🎄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 @Eldon Tyrell Well that sold fast! I saw the sellers post this morning that he'd put your old 1200 on Reverb. Clicked the link all excited and it was already sold. Only listed last night. To be honest it was a bit steep for me as an impulse buy but must've been a fair price to sell so quickly. It did look fantastic though. 😍 https://reverb.com/item/77454231-yamaha-bb1200-1978-sunburst?publish_confirmation=true&fbclid=IwAR1QQaJQCVWpo0qeprZ_1VWP25vq_Qq1bffXV1tncjFzypePPnoJNf-1P4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the price was too low. I think it was £1k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
