These are so underrated. Such a quality instrument. 
 

A few minor dents and scratches but nothing major, some tarnishing to the bridge. All work as it should.
 

Comes with a not too great gig bag.

Weight: 4.3 kg

Scale: 34” 

Bridge: 19mm 

21 frets 

Nut: 1 11/16” 

Radius: 10”

Body: Alder 

Neck: Maple 

Fingerboard: Rosewood

Bolt-on neck 

Hardware: Gold

Pickups: 2 alnico single coil (stacked hum cancelling)

Electronics: volume, blend, 3 band EQ (+/- treble / bass and two mids presets - the mid control is a 3-way rotary selector switch to select between flat and the two presets) 

Mother of Pearl and Abalone inlays, gloss finish.

 

Prefer not to post. Price excluded all shipping.

 

No trades thanks.

One of the few basses I regret selling. Brilliant hi-fi sound from these. Usual Yamaha quality.

 

I'm currently in selling mode, otherwise would be seriously tempted. 

 

Whoever buys this will be well happy!

These were excellent pro-level basses.

 

I remember this bass getting a very favourable review in Bass Player magazine when it was a current model, back in the very early 2000's.

 

Chris Minh Doky and Jeff Andrews played them at the time, too, I seem to recall.

 

Superb quality instrument for £400, anyway, that's for sure.

Yamaha made some fantastic bass models in that late 90s/early 00s period such as this one.
 

I own two BB604s from 2003 which aren’t too dissimilar looking to this, but with a 2+2 headstock and slightly different control layout etc. They are dynamite basses in any price bracket. 
 

I’d be interested in trying this one but alas my bass quota is full!
