I know John personally from the Ventures East Coast Fan Fests. He's a great guy and SUPER careful with his gear. I've seen this guitar in person (sadly didn't have time to play it) and it really looks terrific in person. The photos don't come close to doing it justice.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Are these local only?

No. I can also ship within the lower 48. I would only charge the actual shipping costs, packaging, etc. Paypal would be best.

Bump! Great gear for sale by a great guy who's hyper careful with his gear.

For the uninformed here (Me!) what does this mean? "... modified circuit to match AB165 (January 1965) design."

Don't have pix of the Yamaha?

Sorry for late reply guys!

Update...the Bassman is no longer for sale. It needed some repairs as the previous tech did not do a good job. I had Dana Sutcliffe, who is also a master luthier and restored my 1960 Jazzmaster, bring it back to original specs and it sounds awesome. I have decided to keep it.

The Yamaha is still for sale. Here is the link again to some pics.
