SimonH Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Selling my tasty Yamaha BB2000, number 127 made on Jan 11th 1985. It's a beautiful thing to play, hear and look at – but for the last ten years or so it's been mostly the latter. It's in great shape for nearly 40 years – bar a single nick on the back side of the arm chamfer so you can't see it) and a few dings (pictured), plus the inevitable thumb rest scrape. So it's not mint – I'd describe it as good-excellent overall condition. Action is low, neck perfect (no marks on the back), frets good, truss rod works (I'll chuck in a homemade tool for adjusting it, but it won't need it) and it sounds absolutely immense, just the way they say. Set-up and pots rewired by a pro a few years ago. The toggle switch is new (the old one fell apart) and – full disclosure – when you flick from bridge to neck it sometimes needs a second go to make contact. Probably easily solved with contact cleaner. The underside of the back cover has been inscribed by a previous owner (who may or may not be on here). I also have the original case which is in ok condition bar the handle, which has worn through to metal and at some point I wrapped it in gaffa tape. Again, another easy solution with vinyl wrap or something. Any questions, please ask. I've seen a few on sale on here recently, and I've seen examples offered elsewhere asking crazy prices. I would much prefer a quick, painless sale – I can't package or post it, so you're welcome to come and give it a go here in South Lincs, or we can meet anywhere between Peterborough to Grantham across to North Norfolk. Or even a bit further. Timing might be an issue because I'm away a fair bit, but we can sort something out. Weight is 4.5kg according to my bathroom scales. Cheers!
