Paul S Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Black Yamaha BB425 - y'all know what one of these is and what they look like. Passive, P/J, slim neck 5er with arguably the best bang for buck low B string for such a cheap bass. I bought this one a year or so ago as a back up and it blew me away in terms of value for money - excellent bass. But found it to be a little heavy so I started to look at ways to lighten it. I changed the tuners for ultralites then, in a blinding flash of logic - I only used the P pup on this so I removed the bridge pickup and 3 way selector switch which saved me a lot of weight. However, I am having a bit of a cull and this one was on the list for going so I decided to put it back to stock. Original tuners now back on - check. Bridge pickup back in place - check. Toggle switch back in place - hang on, where exactly did I stow it. Somewhere safe, no doubt, but I have no idea where. It isn't where it should be, therefore it could be anywhere. So what I have for sale is a 1 year old, good nick, BB425 with everything there except a 3 way selector switch and then, of course, it all needs wiring back together again. If you are handy with this type of thing this is a bit of a bargain - I don't have the inclination or time to sort it out myself at the moment. £100 collected from SS7 southeast Essex, hardly seems worth the bother of a courier. It looks exactly like this one, pic nicked off t'net. Except it hasn't got the toggle switch, of course. Edited June 13, 2018 by Paul S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 PMs replied to. Regarding posting, I would rather hang on for someone who can collect for the moment. That is partly why it is so cheap. I have a limited amount of packaging to hand and, with two other basses up for sale at the moment, don't ant to use a lot of it posting this. Of course I can scavenge some more but that is extra hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
