Yamaha bbvis MIJ 80s medium scale 32” tobacco burst - *SOLD* £380 Whitley Bay

SOLD
 

A very reluctant sale as this is the nicest playing bass I’ve owned with a very high build quality. Unfortunately the scale length doesn’t agree with an old wrist injury so it only gets played at home seated. Hard to know how to price this as I can only find one other on here that was definitely way underpriced as it sold instantly. Bassbros have one currently for sale at £460 so I think this is reasonable. It doesn’t have its original bridge, knobs or tuners but these can be sourced if you wish to return it to stock. It has hipshot USA ultralights fitted which are its 3rd set of tuners so there are some holes which can be filed if that bothers you. There are various dings and wear but it plays brilliantly. There is wear near the forearm contour which was touched up by by a previous owner. There is a ding in the neck near the headstock which sits further round the neck than the thumb would be positioned so isn’t an issue. Frets are in good condition. Happy to post at buyers expense - I have a box. No trades at present but could part ex for boss pedals. It won’t come with the pictures TI flats - it will come with rounds. I can’t figure out Yamaha’s serial number system but I think this was made 83-85. Edit- it’s 3.7kg

I only have a tape measure but I make it 42mm. It’s definitely more P than J, although the neck feels somewhere in between.
