This is a violin sunburst Yamaha BBG5S (5 string). I don't remember the exact date I purchased this bass new, but it was some time around 99'-2000. It has active dual soapbar pickups, volume, pan, bass, treble cut / boost--9volt, alder body with rosewood on maple neck, and gold plated hardware.
Bass with MBT hardshell case shipped to lower 48:
$300 OBO
(I'll also include the dunlop straplocks I have on it)
I had to replace the input jack a few years ago. It can still be a little touchy from time to time (it sounds like the jack loses contact if the instrument cable is pushed the wrong way), so the new owner might want to have it checked out. (This is not something that happens constantly, but I'm trying to describe the bass as fully as possible.)
There is one nick that goes through the finish near the bridge-see picture below, and a cluster of small dings that do not go through the finish above the pickups (they are only noticeable if you hold the bass at a certain angle--I wasn't able to get a good picture of them).
There are three nicks on the neck, see pictures below (the first picture is of the deepest nick--the other two are more like dents).
Overall, this bass is in very good condition, and sounds great. I really hate to sell it, but I've hit some financial difficulties, and don't play a 5 string often enough to keep it. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!
