Just wanted to do a short NBD - I've always wanted a BB1025x because I've heard so much positive things about them and how well built they are, etc. This is not one of the current generation BB's of course, this is from the previous generation that was discontinued a a few years ago to make room for today's current models.
I've only been occasionally looking for one of these over the last several years. Mostly because they have become fairly difficult to find, they seldom show up used. Recently, I've been trading in a lot of (non-Yamaha) basses in my collection - trying to take a more minimalistic approach.
So with a little extra bass-cash on hand from the sell-off, I Googled for a BB1025x (used), expecting to find little to nothing out there. I was shocked to find this beautiful BB1025x in Caramel Brown on Reverb! For a moment, I thought Google had probably given me a link to an old listing that sold long ago. But no, it was available. Apparently, it had been listed there for about 2 months before I saw it. Needless to say I purchased it.
The Seller listed it in Mint condition, but all I could say when it showed up was Holy Smokes! Wow!!! Not exaggerating when I say this thing is in PERFECT condition. Not one single scratch, scuff mark, ding, nothing. Absolutely pristine. Pretty amazing really since the serial number dates it to February, 2011 as the production date. I couldn't believe it still had the plastic on the pickguard after almost 12 yrs!!
Anyway, feeling super blessed to have stumbled into this one and wanted to share!
