AndyTravis Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Right I’ve met with the basses are like busses syndrome. I needed a fretless Yamaha turning into a fretted one. The price of the job came to about £150/£200. So before I committed to the job I stumbled upon this bass...it needed a few bits sorting. I won it on eBay for £92 plus £17 shipping. it will arrive on Friday. The day I won it, a bb300 turned up on eBay too. I started on a bb300 so decided to get involved with that. I’m now in a bass surplus situation. the bb200 looks like it’s had a life. But seems perfectly functional. its missing control knobs - I’ve sorted the appropriate Yamaha sucked sweetie speed knobs (a £10 charity donation) I have an appropriate “love heart” machine head to replace the missing one too. £130 collected in Manchester, or £10 to ship in UK with the neck off. for an extra £30 it can ship in a hard case. ill be setting it up, cleaning it and putting some barely used strings on it rather than the messy ones it seems to have on. the Thumb rest can be removed or left on - my plan was to refinish the bass, it does seem to have a couple of knocks. Better pictures will follow once I’ve spruced it up. thing is, the bb200 has standard precision style pickups, so is rife for an upgrade - I’d challenge you to find a better ‘P’ for this kind of money.

Grahambythesea Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 This would look better with a scratch plate ( whilst you’re making one for your other new BB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
