Fleemarket-find

[ArvidU]

All I know is this : it’s a million times more exciting than any gardening stuff !

I’m not a fan of Yamaha basses but they are usually very high quality and survive very well over time so if you like the sound, you’ll love it.

Indeed! I forgot about the gardening stuff

Last of the BB's made in Yamaha's Taiwan facility, one of the last series of BB's with the metal pickup surrounds, always a BB visual signature.

One of the best PJ basses there is, and one terrific instrument if it suits you, with Yamaha's typically excellent build quality.

Yes! I’m really surprised how good it feels.

Why on earth someone put a bass that nice in a flea market would be an interesting back story.
Great find!`

I agree. The story is interesting, but lost…

Congrats, flea market/pawn shop scores are the best.

Obvious question, do you have fleas in Sweden?

We just might

I think they mail them to you, after you buy'em off specs.
There is no flea they can't source, except this one:

YUMMY YAMMY! Great score!

Might have to get some flea powder and dust the pickup and control cavities, that's where they like to hang out

Anyway here's a piece perfectly suited for it on yamaha BB2024, the Forget me nots cover everybody knows. There's a couple also of Ready Freddy W playing it but not on a Yamaha, sorry.

Great basses; I had the passive version (BB414) and it was one of my favorite basses ever. I only sold it because I've moved to shorter scale basses.

This is true, but they moved production to Indonesia during the lifespan of this series, so there are examples made in both countries. @ArvidU, where is yours made? It will be printed on the back of the body close to the rear strap button.
