2012 Yamaha BBNE2 Nathan East Signature Model 5-String Bass White w/ Case, Tags

Description: Up for sale, a 2012 Yamaha BBNE2 Nathan East Signature Model bass in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. One of the most recorded bass players in history, Nathan East has more than 2,000 credits to his name. Beyond his legendary session prowess, he’s also appeared on-stage with a myriad of artists including Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, and Stevie Wonder. This Yamaha five-string Nathan East Signature Model is as dynamic and versatile as its namesake, featuring neck-through construction, a 24-fret fingerboard, stacked Alnico humbuckers and Yamaha’s 5-control active electronics including a custom 3-band EQ with a switchable Mid-Cut. The neck is crafted from maple and mahogany, with maple/alder body wings and an ebony fretboard, and this BBNE has tons of natural resonance and a deep, rumbling low end presence faithfully captured by the pair of Yamaha Custom Stack humbuckers. These pickups feature Alnico V magnet construction, delivering smooth, warm punch, with a blend of glassy detail and low-mid thickness that captures the full sonic range of all five strings. The three band active EQ yields everything from focused tick-tack trebles to wooly, thick thump, and the two-way switchable Mid-Cut mini-toggle is an ideal tool for cutting through a mix. This BBNE2 Nathan East Signature Model weighs 10lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-130 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
