Sign in to disble this ad
Hey its Yamaha day i guess!!!. Based on the Nathan East Models--
I have my yamaha bbg5 up for sale. these are harder to find nowadays. A great player that is passive, and has that jazz punch. Bone nut, gold hardware, alder body, rosewood board, 18mm spacing and with the high definition top. Everything is Stock. Plays very well. Made in 1997 according to the serial. Adjusted very little, truss works great.
only $250 shipped CONUS .
Condition I would say a strong 8.5 out of 10 condition due to a little fading on edges of the gold tuners, and basic use,the bass overall pretty clean.Hardly any scratches or wear. I accept paypal.
Alder with high definition top
Neck Maple Bolt-on
Fretboard Rosewood
Pickups 2 passive single coil
Hardware Gold
Controls Volume front pickup, volume rear pickup, master tone
Frets 24
Bridge 5 string fully adjustable
Scale 34"

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Springfield, mo | | | Bump** 250.00 is not a lot for an all original bass with shipping and 5 string too boot. 19mm string spacing, low action to kill over, you can mod these things too. I have to pay paypal fees outta this too. may just keep it if no takers.
