I've been hit by serious GAS attack and need to clear up some stuff.

Here's my beautiful Yamaha BB5000A.
One of the first production models to feature both neckthrough construction AND active elektronics.
It plays like butter.

Dark blue( the one in my avatar).
Wide fretboard with nice MOP oval inlays.
P/J pups(no metalrings on this one - never were!) with Vol/Bal/B/T electronics.
Gold Hardware incl. Schaller straplocks (original strapholders comes with it)
Pretty nice ( 8.5 out of 10)
Don't know what year
Really good sound - 100% even across the strings. NO dead spots! Supertight B-string! Kills in the studio.
The original case(one of the locks doesn't work)

Aside from the usually scuffs, it has a ding under the 5. fret (once hit midair with a guit..). Nothing serious, you can feel it but i don't notice it at all.

Have any trades? Come out!
Otherwise 1.200 euros

Right now it's out with a friend who'll test it. Maybe sold? I hope so...

I have the fretless version of this. It's fantastic.

Hello,

What would you think about a 5 string tobacco burst Trace Elliot T-Bass (by Status)? Battled with a few dings, but technical in very good condition, all original. Pics available.

Best,
Chris
