AREA Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Just received my "second Hand" bought Yamaha BB425X in Vintage White. Bougt it from MusicWorks in Legnano, near Milano/Italy. The Bass came in perfect, like new Condition, already equipped with Security Locks and with a Setup that is like a Dream. Who ever has setup this Bass, knows exactly what he does. Really awesome. Plays "like Butter" and sounds fantastic. Also i guess, these Basses in "Vintage White" are hard to find meanwhile.

gary mac Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 That does look rather lovely. Enjoy your NBD Quote
Chris Horton Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Those Yamaha's look fantastic in that colour Quote
AREA Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Just wanna let you know that i've put on a Set of Flatwounds (045-125) from Adrian Maruszczyk. Really nice Feel and a Tension more like Rounds. Not that stiff as the Flats i used to know. Very reasonable Price too. The BB sounds unbelivable fat. Really nice Oldschool Tone. Love it. Quote
Painy Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I always used to think the body and the headstock both looked too big on the BB basses but it's a design that has really grown on me over the years and recently I've been feeling a touch of GAS for a 1025x. To be honest though, looking at this I'd be more than happy with a 425x. Looks lovely! Quote

Visually, the only difference between the 424/5x and the 1024/5x is the bridge. Much though it pains me, I MIGHT consider selling my 1025x in the next few weeks to help fund some hefty GAS. I won't be selling if I can avoid it though! Quote
MGB Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Nice one. And a lot of bass for the price. Here you can see I like them too, I now have four Yamaha's.

Marc S Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 It does look great, especially in white Glad you had a happy NBD - which I hope is actually a happy NBM (M = Month!) Quote
jonnybass Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Nice bass, I love those scratch plates. Quote
bigsmokebass Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) I've got the same bass but 1000 series and without the X this bass is my workhorse and I couldn't rate this bass highly enough. hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Edited October 17, 2017 by bigsmokebass Quote
