Got this fantastic Yamaha BB3000AF fretless 4 (unlined rosewood board). PJ pickups, active tone controls, sweet mwahhhh. Very hard to find these days and they keep climbing in value. Metallic Charcoal gray finish, excellent condition besides some normal tarnish on the gold hardware and some paint chip on the edges. Selling for $550 shipped in the US w/gig bag. International shipping is no problem, just PM for a ship quote.
Similar basses have gone for over $700 on the 'bay (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-YAMAHA-BB30...QQcmdZViewItem)
Pics (sorry for the quality...took them in bad lighting)

Thanks to your FS thread I probably won't sell mine now.
Here's a pic of a red one to give TBers an idea of what it looks like. 
Good luck with the sale  |

Thanks for the bump! Quote:

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Orange County, CA | | The previous owner liked the jack on the top (using a 90* angle jack). Felt it was more secure. I can put the jack back in the side and cap off the top if you like. Quote:

I really want a BB3000 fretted. If you know someone who wants to get rid of one, let me know. Thanks for posting those pics.
Thanks,

That is a great price for a vintage Bass from Japan. Someone jump on this before I lose my willpower ! ! !
