SOLD Yamaha BB300 1986 (Taiwan) £300 Manchester

[AndyTravis]

Taken in Trade against my Tune.

 

Its absolutely lovely as these old BB’s are, effectively a P bass but with a reversed P.

I want to keep it as a flats thumper, but in all honesty, the need isn’t there as I don’t play anything requiring it.

 

I have a bb350 too which is the same bass with an added J, so I can’t even make the excuse that it’s a sound I haven’t got covered.

 

”M” prefix serial number is 1986.

 

Neck is a beauty, like a slim ish flattened P bass neck. Birdseye grain throughout.

 

Black finish shows a little swirling, but to be fair - it’s in great condition for 35 years of age. Knock on each side and one at the bridge - a bit of a buckle mark on the back, but not gouged.

 

Machineheads are modern 424/1024 units. I don’t have the original tulips - how I got it, and in fairness I know the originals are a bit of a joke (and heavy as hell).

 

weight - scales battery has died, feels solid - 10lbs is my estimate (I know my 414 is 9lbs dead).

 

Shipping can happen at your cost and risk.

 

I have no spare cases or bags so would be a bubble wrap job in a box.

 

Collection from me in sunny Manchester is fine too.

 

Offers are welcome (sensible ones) - not really after trades of any sort, but I’m susceptible to them…an at risk gear monkey.

🤣 Great turn of phrase 

 

Why are these so damned heavy!

I had one of these some years ago, and it was fabulous playing /sounding bass!

 

Punched way above it's weight, like all the Yamaha BB range basses do... 

 

GLWTS 👍

Same 😂 I’m from 1986 too, this has nothing on my dodgy knees and rapidly expanding bald patch!

 

I’d love to take this for the (slightly cringe) YOB thing, whack on some very heavy flats and permanently wedge a chunky bit of foam under them. 
I’d say “I’ll be back when mine sells”, but this will be long gone by then!
