NoirBass Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) So the clear-out continues, Classic story - I need to raise some money, I have basses I don’t really want to part with to sell to raise funds for the next bass. I’m listing a load of basses so as soon as I’ve hit my target I’ll withdraw the rest. Please feel free to hit me up with near offers - I’m willing to listen. Got this in a trade on here a few years ago and loved it, however the fact is that I just don’t use it enough to justify keeping it. This thing produces an enormous tone for a passive instrument this amazingly well built and feels great to play. This one is in very good condition no obvious chips or dings. It does have little wear to the bottom stringer at the back of the neck, but this doesn’t affect playability. It comes with its original soft case. My one downside with this is that it is a little on the heavy side, but not as heavy as a 1025X! - I’ll weigh it and add to the post shortly. EDIT just weighed it on the bathroom scales - 4.5 Kg, pretty typical for these. Blurb: https://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-bb1025-caramel-brown/51014 I would very much prefer collection in person here in north London (N21) as I can demo the bass with an amp and make sure that the potential buyer is happy. However I do have a couple of shipping boxes that I would be willing to post basses in at the buyers risk. Or I may be able to meet within a reasonable distance and I’m always in central London for gigs. Edited March 19, 2023 by NoirBass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The price of Yamaha basses are hilarious. How they can sell for as little as they do is beyond belief. £550 for a bass as good as this?? Ridiculous!! Somebody's bound to come along and steal it shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha probably cause it don’t look like no fender! Someone should get on the blower to Yamaha marketing and suggest 😁 Edited March 14, 2023 by Sweeneythebass Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom.android Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I have the 4 string of this in the same colour but wish it had an extra string! Any London based Basschatters heading for Bristol anytime soon and up for setting up a relay? Or any Bristol / North Somerset guys heading for London able to collect? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
