I've wanted a Yamaha BB1200 ever since I learned what Yamaha BBs were. Well now I have one. A 1978 model in natural, it has honest wear and bumps on it being 45 years old but it's sound as a pound and an absolute joy to play - thin frets on an ebony board, wide but not too chunky neck, it feels lovely. Sounds great too, reverse P be reversin'.
This makes me feel fancy, in a similar way that my Wunkay does. I truly feel like I own one of the cornerstone basses of history.
It weighs 9 and a half pounds, not too shabby for a late 70s bass.
Enough chat, I'm off to play it some more!
