Description
What makes this guitar special: Famously played by Paul McCartney during the tail end of his time with Wings, the BB1200 was Yamaha’s top-of-the-line production bass. It represents the utmost in quality offered by the Japanese manufacturer at the time, featuring a familiar split coil pickup configuration with a neck-through body design for enhanced resonance, and an ebony fingerboard for smooth playability. Professionally inspected and setup by our expert in-house luthier, and ready to play out of the case!

There are various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, scuffs, and chips present, with a handful of small areas of finish wear throughout. There is some chipping in the finish around the area of truss rod access, and the string nut has been shimmed.
