Yamaha BB1000 with original hard case - *SOLD* £600 Whitley Bay

[AndyTheBassBison]

Selling this beauty as I’ve got too many p type basses and need to make room! I believe it’s a 1978. Comes with original hardcase, tools and manual. This was the top spec bolt on at the time with an ebony fretboard. I’m the 2nd owner. It was refinished at some point by the original owner in a slightly metallic sage green who also had it defretted early on - it has spent most of its life unplayed in it’s case. I had new frets fitted this year and it’s had a pro setup so it play beautifully with a low action to suit my light touch. Fitted with labella low tension flats. It’s approx 4.5kg with a p bass type neck - I make the nut 43mm. Happy to part ex with cash either way depending - I’m only after a Hofner contemporary violin or a 4 string stingray. Welcome to try it out in whitley bay. I’m not looking at postage at present as the hard case is absolutely massive and it will not be cheap or easy to post! Happy to meet up within a hour or so drive. Some of the photos were taken when it had fender flats on.

What a cracker. Colour match silks as well for the finishing touch. Lucky for me I am a very long way from Whitley Bay!

Afraid so, something has to go! It’s last in, first out. I’ve also got my bb1024 for sale - if one sells, I may hang onto the other

Man, I remember when we spoke on this bargain you got. The timing is bad as I’m in the middle of trying to change my amp rig and also refine the 70’s pbass I have. 
 

It’s funny how when you aren’t feeling your current setup for some reason these things pop up lmao

My god. This is special! I wish I could justify buying it!

There are a few scenes of it in action here (although the audio is my bb1024 with flats as I didn’t yet have the bb1000 when I recorded the bass parts)

I'd take £550 if anyone fancies a trip to sunny (albeit very windy!) Whitley Bay.
