Yamaha Billy Sheehan 25th Anniversary Ltd ii bass - *WITHDRAWN* £1350 Rochester, Kent

[BaggyMan]

Final listing before going to a music shop (yes they still exist) on commission.

 

The billy sheehan bass, no shrinking violet this...

Dual outputs, fiercesome pickups and beast of a bass.

Not scratched, one small dint, that hasnt broken or cracked the finsh.

 

The is the 25th Anniversary version,  The 'p' pickups have been uprated to the relentless pickups found on the very latest version.

Also these have neck dive (its not a small bass!)  so i have changed the tuners to hipshot ultralite including the detuner. Stickers are what came with the bass (see 'spooky' Billy sheehans homage to his beloved cat) and in keeping with the vibe, yet removable if needed.   Selling with original tuners included.

 

Comes with original case.

All the usuals, come round to try, can post at buyers risk and expense (insured)

Agree 100% This is easily a £2k bass given the mk3 is £4K new and the newest version the wife tribute is £6k.

 

Good luck mate as those are awesome basses!

The scalloping is more to help string bending. 😋

Funnily enough I've just been playing mine and was messing about with string bends up that end (I don't normally) and I find they really help. 

Instead of your finger sitting on the fretboard and the string being kind of trapped between your fingertip and fret, with the scallop your finger sits lower and the string sits higher on your fingertip and slides along the fret much easier. Hard to explain but I find bends are easier and cleaner with the scallop. 

Hope that helps. 

 

Sorry to jump on your sale thread @BaggyMan, GLWTS it's a fantastic bass in the best colour.
