    Here is a Yamaha BB1025X bass that I have for sale. This was my main gigging bass for a quite a while..loved the passive thing and it just sat great in the mix. Also..you can hear it on the video in my signature. I hate to get rid of it, but I am just not playing it as much anymore. It has a home made ramp between the pickups that I can leave or remove...but it is useful if you like ramps. The controls were professionally modified to add a P/U blend knob instead of a selector switch. This makes the J pickup much more usable and musical in this bass. Has the stock Nickel Silver nut, which I love.. Overall this bass just sounds and plays great, you will not be disappointed. There is a mark on the back that is in one of the pictures where someone ran into it while out on a gig.. :meh: But you can't see it from the front. Price on this is $600 and I am in SoCal.

    Also, this does come with the original knobs and selector switch if you want to change back. Honestly though..the blend knob is a crazy awesome upgrade for this bass... And a few people have asked, the weight is 10.25lbs.

    Question: did changing the switch to a blend knob fix the 60 cycle hum issue with the bridge pickup, or is there still a hum? Thanks.

    It def helped a little since you dont have to be 100% bridge p/u.. But it is still a single coil...gonna hum. I gig the ElectroHarmonix HumDebugger with all my single coil basses and it takes care of it completely without messing with the tone.. :)
