Yamaha BB614 Pewter - *WITHDRAWN* £375 Manchester

[AndyTravis]

Just putting feelers out

 

really beautiful bass, basically a reissue BB with a 3 band EQ.

sounds and plays great.

 

Gotoh 201 bridge - I can switch to original Yamaha one which I have on another bass.

 

Good weight, 9lbs 

 

tort guard - made for me by Earlpilanz.

 

covers all sounds - I have a 414 and seem to set this similarly so I’ll stop being greedy.

 

i can ship, but I have no case. So happy for collection in Manchester - or to have a case delivered etc. can ship without case at buyers risk - although I can wrap it to death etc.

Ooh Andy, that's lovely is that! The pickguard looks perfect too.  GLWYS

Now listed on eBay/Reverb etc.

 

It’s cheaper here.

 

I can also do PayPal invoices too so you can spread the cost etc.

[AndyTravis]

£350 plus postage guys

Potentially stupid question - just checking the pickguard is screwed in?

Yes it is - done with a precision drill bit and fender screws (they have the lovely dimensions cheap sh*tty eBay ones don’t)

Bump - can entertain trades if you’ve got something Danelectro long scale - we’d obviously have to talk about prices etc.

[Raslee]

Whats the weight like Andy ?

 

****scrap that, the idiot in me just spotted the 9lbs ****

Bet it looks great naked without PG too

can’t beat Yamaha quality.

[AndyTravis]

It does - a clear guard would look cool too…

 

Anyhow - Bump.

 

Had a few trade offers…

 

Not really after anything, but open to ideas.

That really is something special. I love Yamaha instruments, they are super cool and always seem to hit the spot tone wise. I’m very tempted and only down the road from you too in sunny Wigan. Trouble is if I buy this I will probably not play my Sadowsky. Might give me the chance to move the Sadowsky on, if it plays and sounds as good as it looks!

reckon if this isn’t sold by Jan 1st, I’ll just keep it.
