gary mac Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I've gone and done what I told myself I would never do..... bought a bass on ebay. It was my wifes fault. She was away at the weekend and I spent too much time looking at ebay. I put in a bid within a few minutes of the end time, thinking that I wouldn't really be sucessful and that someone else would sneak in at the end. But they didn't. So, all in a panic I rang wife to tell her, expecting a rollicking, but she was pleased. Although she did ask which one of my other basses I would sell. Anyway, it all turned out ok. The seller personally delivered it the next day and the bass was exactly as described, totally immaculate as far as I can tell. It's a Yamaha semi acoustic. I thought it might be a bit of a one trick pony in the sound department, but I was wrong it's got plenty of punch and a good variety of sounds on offer. I'll post up a pic or two later, although I guess some of you probably spotted it on ebay. I had forgotten that feeling that a new bass brings, I'm still not able to walk past it without picking it up for a play. All the best Gary.

paul h Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I was looking at a Yamaha semi on ebay recently. I decided I wanted all my gear to be YAMAHA and was preparing sell anything that wasn't. I have since calmed down. p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggy Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nice one. A mate has one the same, every time I go round there I have to pick it up and have a quick try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc B Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Very cool - I've got the guitar version in sunburst and I only paid £250 for it. The BEX didn't have enough frets for me unfortunately or I'd have got one of those when they were new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
