ProfJames Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Got a pal looking for a Yamaha BB1100s for the last couple of weeks and there are none available. Are people not selling? Are they becoming more rare? Are there other models that are scarce at present??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait a full 6 months before a white NE2 turned up and as for a (aka 'my') white 1025 forget it! 😄 I'll link you to the Yammy thread and definitely worth sticking a wanted ad up, if you've not done so already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Quite shocked at the prices now I thought around the £700 mark. Saying that bb3000 are now selling for around £1200. Edited January 8, 2021 by marleaux62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit made in Taiwan I think in great nick..............one heck of an increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 There are some chancers, sorry sellers, trying to get around £1000 for them when I reckon that a good Jap one is £500 ish tops. There was a couple of nice ones on here last year that sat for a while. It like everything else. When you don`t want one they are everywhere but when you actually have the cash and the need, they seem to have vanished.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least regular on here seems to buy and sell at very high prices, and also manages to bypass the fees for using BC likes his own shop front.

bassfan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Took me months to sell mine 2019/2020... it was on here for ages until I traded it... was a lovely bass though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilebodgers Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 A £K is bonkers, they are decent basses, but not that super special. I just set mine up recently and the machine heads are driving me spare, the adjustable collars that take the lash out of the gears keep coming loose (they tend to turn with the key) and the special tool for tightening them is unobtanium. I need to strip them down and clean+grease, but I was in too much of a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
