Yamaha BB5000a Wide 5 String Bass

from The Bass Hang Hosted by Steve Araujo

Here's a very quick sound demo of this great and very RARE Yamaha BB5000A Wide Neck Bass. This is a Highly Customized Bass from the Late 80's. check out the specs and the great tones this bass produces!! I wanted to do this quick demo because I had a KILLER fretless version of this bass a ling time ago and this was a great reminder of how great these basses were and are!! The Bass was recorded through an A-Designs REDDI straight into my Apogee Duet then straight to Logic Audio. This bass features: · Nordstrand preamp · Carvin H50A bar neck pickup · Sentell bar bridge pickup · Palemoon Ebony pickup covers · Hipshot gold lollypop ultralight tuners · Palemoon Ebony pickguard · Palemoon Ebony headstock plate · Macassar Ebony Fretboard · Gotoh 206 Gold bridge (Roscoe Beck) · Aged ivory original paint · Neck thru construction · 34" scale · Nut width: 1.84" · Neck width at last fret: 3.14" · String Spacing: 19mm at the bridge - VERY RARE wide neck option · Weight is 10.6 lbs
