What's this Yamaha ?

Think it’s called an attitude standard.

it’s a p bass/bb200 in the shape of a Billy Sheehan model.

It’s pretty lovely in so many ways - I was watching it, but a certain 1024x has stated I’m not to own any more basses.

An old band of mine a regular support act for mini tours of the south who’s bass player had one. A well made P Bass with a twist.

Looks like one that could get bumped up by those who don't read the description. i.e. they'll take it as courier delivery / any kind of payment they like / includes the amp.

Seller's done himself no favors in that regard. Either he's plain stupid, or he's stupid and thinks he's being clever.

I'm in on this one, superb basses as all this family of Yams are. My max bid is set at £167 cos I want some spare to put a mudbucker at the neck. I don't need it, you know what you need to beat me. I WON'T be going any higher.

Good luck Karl - already been bitten on ebay this week so I'm out ! ( I wanted it for £30 anyway  !)

My estimate wasn't that far out then ! Great result, like every other Yamaha it'll punch about it's weight. In the For Sale forums in 6 weeks time  😀

Will he have a receipt though? Prove he’s not handling in stolen goods (hahahahahaha!)

You couldn't have got closer Pete.

Now, are you running the book on how long before it's up for sale :P ?

WTF did I put a daft bid on a bass when I'm trying to get down to 4.:dash1:

OK, so drove to pick it up, had a bit of time with it.

BAD BITS.

2 of the clover leaf parts of the tuners rattle. Bit of Araldite should stop that. Reluctant to change as they have that torque bar that you can change tuner tension with hex key.

Tone rotary seems to do nowt, so that'll either be a Ki0Gon loom or a trip to Richie Tomson to put a new pot in.

Bit of neck dive (4" strap fettles that).

EDIT. Strings are crap.

IF I decide to keep it.

GOOD BITS.

The current one tone is FABULOUS, lovely thump with just a touch of bite. The generic Yam pups they used on this range were superb imo.

Superb neck, 40mm nut, think maple board on a Nate Mendel.

Looks great without scratchplate. Truss rod, bridge etc very good.

Plays brilliant!

Well built enough to use as an emergency hammer.

 

So, bearing in mind I'm moving in a few months & REALLY need to cut gear down, do I move it on or, 

SPEND £60 ON WILKINSON BLACK BRIDGE, TUNERS & STRING TREE :lol:

Just checking the For Sale section and Facebook. It’s got to be on there by now, surely
