For Sale is a Yamaha BB1024x

This has been well loved, and for most of it's life has been toured in a flight case.

I own another BB1024x as well as a BB2024x, making this bass surplus to requirements.

Yamaha's consistency with these basses is incredible, and other than the slight difference in body shape/carve, I cannot differentiate between the 1024 and 2024 models in feel or sonics.

Equipped with no nonsense controls: volume, tone, pickup selector, and two wonderfully voiced and balanced pickups this bass is a true favourite of mine, and to my mind a truly iconic model from Yamaha.

It has a wonderful balance of warmth, and grind, and has a midrange voice/quality that always sits well in a mix.

The build quality on these basses is phenomenal, and features like the unique through-body designs, and the nut material matching that of the frets makes for a wonderfully even, responsive, and sustaining voice from this instrument.

The bass has a few marks and knocks in the body, as you'd expect from a bass that has been in constant live/studio action since 2015.

Nothing of particular not though.

The original strap buttons are missing, but in their place are black strap locks, and I will include the padded strap I have always used with this bass, with accompanying strap locks.

The bass is currently strung with LaBella Black Tapewounds, but I will also include a set of D'Addario Pro Steels 105-45.

The original gig bag is also included.

I am happy to ship/post - please contact me to arrange a quote, but this should be within £50.

I would also consider trades for a Precision Bass of aa similar cost - Mexican / player series, or something like a Limelight, or Alnus bass build (I'm a sucker for a relic finish).
