KBass913 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) 2001 model owned from new. Lovely active bass with a great feel and sound. Condition is very good - there are a few dinks in the body and neck (see pictures) and two missing tuner caps but nothing that affects playability. The bass is 35" scale with three band eq, alnico pickups, 3 band eq, Ash body. Currently strung with flatwounds. Collection/can deliver or meet within a reasonable distance.

KBass913 Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Should add that I'm open to trades as I'm in the market for a 24 fret 5 string of similar quality e.g. Yamaha BB605 🙂 Edit: have got a 'holding' cheaper bass so no longer looking for trades Edited December 1, 2022 by KBass913 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyerseve Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 My first real bass in the exact same colour! These are incredible basses with great tone and rock solid build quality. Grab a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandypjb Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 A lot of bass for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobs Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi, I have googled this and sorry if this is a daft question, does this bass have an active/passive switch. Are you stuck if the battery runs out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have a 5 string fretless and it's the only one I've ever really bonded with. Yamaha owners know how good this is. GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Had one of these in the same colour as my first 'proper' bass. Saved months and months for it as a skint 6th former! This is a ridiculous price for what is a true, high-end, Japanese made Yamaha. Brilliant pickups and a studio class Pre-amp. They're absolute funk machines! Bargainous! GLWTS.
