Yamaha BB734a. £530 * ON HOLD* - *SOLD* £550 Liverpool

[mikeycrikey]

SOLD

Yamaha BB 734a in stealth matt Black. Bought new from Wunjos.

In excellent condition , still has the plastic cover on the scratch plate as well as the plastic control knob guide. No chips dings or scratches.

Really versatile bass with the active /passive controls. Huge amount of useable tones. Brilliant Yamaha build quality with a 6 bolt neck joint.

Only reason I have decided to move this on is I can't stop fiddling with the active 3 band tone control. 

Made me realise I am more at home with a Precision or Jazz bass.

I have had many BB bases and this the best out of all the ones I have owened.

Comes with a a Thomann leatherette gig bag.

Weight is 4.2Kg

 

Pick up preferred so you can try out through my Barfaced Big Twin. Can do a meet up in the North West or courrier at buyers cost.

Any questions please ask.

 

NOT after any trades unless it involves a Fender Flea Jazz Bass

I owned the 5 string version of this and it was the mutts Nutts.

 

I don’t know how Yamaha manage to produce this quality at that price point.

Sorry about the late reply. Been in a run of night shifts. Takes a while to get the brain working again.

Hi Mikey

I’m in Liverpool city centre next week and would be interested in a meet up 

I’m pretty new to bass and hoping this would see me through a few leading years

[mikeycrikey]

Hi Tom, will PM you to arrange a meet up for next week.

[mikeycrikey]

PM now sent

 Still available  and sat in its gig bag waiting for a new home. Trying my best not to play it as its so nice to play with a lovely  smooth neck.

Unfortunately as soon as I start playing it in a band ssituation I  am continually adjusting the 3 band EQ and pan pot virtually every song.

This is exactly my experience. Owned the 5 string version and absolutely loved it. I only moved it on to part exchange for a Dingwall Super PJ5...and in all honesty the Yamaha sounded and played just as well as the Dingwall! Such great basses - Yamaha have nailed it once again.

This has to be the nicest bass on sale here right now. 

[mikeycrikey]

Desperately trying to avoid breaking the golden rule of not not playing it once it's up for sale.

It looks do good and keeps trying to tempt me to take it to the next gig/rehersal/musical disaster.
