For sale...a 1981 Yamaha Broad Bass (BB) 2000 bass, with neck-thru construction. The bass is in fair condition. As you would expect, this 45 year old bass shows a good bit of honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some finish wear, but it still is a great playing and sounding bass. Please take note of the back of the body (see pics), and observe where a previous owner has done their own artwork. This bass appears to be all original, except for the pick up ring around the P pick up, and the E string tuner has replaced with a newer BB tuner, which works fine. The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of wear left, and the truss rod works as it should. The bass comes with a gig bag.

This is one of the few Yamaha BB 2000 basses I've seen stateside (most of them seem to be shipping from Japan these days). And, I've priced the bass very fairly, to reflect it's condition. If you’re looking for a player's bass, this is the one. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
