Cairobill Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Morning all, Here's a new ad for this very nice Yamaha BB2000. I withdrew it for a while as it's a terrific bass but, on reflection, I do need to move it along. It's priced to sell and firm. It's a great player and has a wonderful straight neck/ low action and good weight for the reassuringly chunky early 80s BBs. Also, it is not mint and has a few dings with some finish chipping on the headstock and a little bit of finish loss on the upper horn (pictured). It also has visible wear to the frets that will at some point need dressing etc However, that does not detract from this being a terrific bass that plays well (video attached) and overall it still looks good with 42 years on it. As I often say, case queens are sometimes case queens for a reason. This one has been used because it is awesome There is no case so shipping is not possible. It will have to be a meet up and handover at a mutually agreed location. Specs - flame maple/mahogany through neck - alder wings - reverse P/J config - passive electronics - ebony fingerboard - weight about 9 3/4 lbs OK, here are the pics and the video!

three Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Lovely bass - I remember these very well as superb instruments and a fab alternative to Fenders of the period. Some lovely playing too! Fantastic interpretation of one of my favourite basslines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this particular instrument seems to improve my playing by about 15% so I can't take any credit for the performance. It has a lot to do with the bass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I've only played 5's for the last 30-odd years, and the one 4 string I do own hangs on the wall just to remind me how long I've been involved in this lark, so why do I keep coming back to look at this? I had a BB1100s and an SC1200 back in the day, and they were so well made, and so easy to play, that must be it. And I concur - if it's been played a lot, that's usually a good sign of a great bass. Very nice playing by the way. I'm sure Freddie would approve. GLWTS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
