alyctes Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The fours come up occasionally, but this is a rarity AFAICT. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BX5-BX-5-80-s-type-headless-5-string-bass-guitar-with-hard-case/223040898494?hash=item33ee4605be:g:-OUAAOSwZrdbOS61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Ooh - B2V going soon you say?? I haven't seen one of those before, but 5 string headless are always a bit of a rarity anyway, which is why it was on my 'to build' list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Honestly, you look away for 5 minutes and then... Rare enough in the standard black / 4 string variety but a white fiver? And a bargain to boot- well done Paul S - that'll be a cracker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Indeed it is!! Opened the box just now and have a huge smile. What a fantastic thing! If Klingons made basses they would look like this. Through my home practice set up it sounds fantastic - much more organic than the EMGs of a Hohner with a nicely distinct tone. Very tight string spacing, which I love. And not heavy at 3.4kgs. I feel like I have stolen it for that money! Edited July 6, 2018 by Paul S delete apostrophe!! My wife would have killed me had she seen it.

Paul S Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Took it to yesterday's gig - first time I have used it with the band. Sounded absolutely amazing and so comfy too. Result indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 In case anyone else has one in 4 or 5 string and is looking for a gig bag to fit such an odd shape - a BSA rifle back pack 43", intended for a scoped rifle, fits almost exactly. Offers fairly good protection, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
