Made in Japan 1991 Yamaha BB 3000 £995 Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire FY52QD

Some of the most sought after Yamaha basses we're "Built in Japan" models such as this one. It's a killer bass!

At some point the pickup surrounds have been removed (no idea why)  but if needed I’m sure could be sourced on the net. 

Other than that it looks, sounds and plays Great! 

Fully set-up and ready to play.

Your postcode points to a music shop, if you're a commercial seller then there is a separate section for you on the forum, mods can advise.

The pickups are not original as these are Reflex...

Yeah I'd say that clears up the pickup surrounds going missing! 😁

Fretsonthenet do reissue surrounds. But the Yamaha pickups (if still available) will be about £300 from Yamaha (2024x set)

Yeah the missing surrounds definately need replacing!! I believe the reflex were similar to EMG (they were noted for having a great slap tone) id want to put originals back!

@ Daz Looking at the knobs am I to assume that the controls are vol/vol tone as at some point it would have a vol/tone and a toggle switch?

Fantastic bass (ebony board too)

 I’ve just looked inside the backplate - its volume/volume and an active bass/treble sweep.

I'd fix those bridge saddles before selling and definitely before buying! Wrong way round surely!
