【used】YAMAHA / BBX 1983 3.795kg #125849【GIB Yokohama】

Yamaha is a leading Japanese musical instrument manufacturer.

Their basses, including the BB series, have been beloved by many bassists both domestically and internationally.

This particular instrument is a BBX, made in Japan in 1983.

The body is made of alder, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is rosewood.

The color is a red sunburst.

The hardware is all gold, giving it a striking look.

The fingerboard features binding, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship down to the smallest detail.

The pickup layout is P/J.

The neck and bridge pickup volumes can be adjusted individually, allowing you to create a range of sounds from the thick, full tone typical of a PB to a tighter sound with the bridge pickup mixed in.

Note that with standard GIB string height, buzzing will occur between the 15th and 19th frets of the 4th string; therefore, the string height of the 4th string needs to be set to 3.0mm.

This is a bass that showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of 1980s Japanese-made basses.

Please give it a try.

The frets have approximately 70% remaining.
The truss rod is stiff, but it can be adjusted to about 90 degrees.
Currently, with the neck adjusted to GIB standards (2.0mm-2.5mm at the 12th fret), there is buzzing on the 4th string between the 15th and 19th frets. To resolve this, the string height on the 4th string needs to be set to 3.0mm.
The body and paintwork show signs of use, with scattered dents and scratches.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
