Description & Condition
YAMAHA has been supporting the industry since the dawn of guitar making in Japan, and is the Japanese Gibson, so to speak.
Nathan East, John Patitucci, and many other top musicians have used Yamaha basses.
Yamaha has many famous models, but the BB series is one of the most highly regarded.
Many of them have PJ pickups, but this one is STD with JJ style.
It is very popular.
This model has a Warmoth neck.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic configuration.
The sound is both wild and sharp, and promises to work well in all kinds of ensembles, including rock, pop, and jazz.
There are roughly 70% frets remaining.
The truss rod is in good working order.
The neck is in good condition. There are a few small dents on the tip of the head. The plating on the pegs is partially peeling. There are many scratches on the fingerboard in the same direction as the frets.
The condition of the body and painted surface is not many scratches, but there are some larger dents scattered in some places.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The bridge mounting screws have been replaced. The bridge on the body has marks where other bridges have been installed, so the bridge currently on the body looks original, but we cannot be sure. All pots have been replaced with ALPHA ones. The condenser is an orange drop. The bridge volume knob has been replaced with one similar to the original, but the model number is unknown.
