Millionaire Yamaha Bass?

[Dave The Machine]

Browsing bass guitars on dolphin music and came across this irregularly priced instrument.

Yamaha BB2024X \'Super BB\' Bass Guitar in Black

I wonder if they take cheques...

Their strings seem somewhat expensive too 1 000 017.99 :D

I saved £ 998199,99 ...that's the deal of the century

It's a really nice instrument! Feels and sounds like you'd expect a master-built bass to be like.

If you like an alternative to the P-bass and J-bass sound, then this one has a great passive tone that falls in the same category...but has it's own style.

No frills and very playable...a little less bark but tighter than a P in the P position, and a little less sweet than a J with both pickups on...but more defined midrange and tone.
The bridge pickup is ceramic...so it's sound is pretty midrangy and bold.
I don't like it too much alone, but it works wonders together with the other pickup to get more growl and grit than any J will ever give you.

It sits very well in the mix, and gives a tight full bottom and defined tone.

It's not my best slapping bass, but for finger-style and pick it's great.
