That’s a rare BB 2004 OVS - mainly seen in natural or black, they did do white as well.

It was 2009. Maybe it’s time again.

This is the reissue I was talking about. Sorry. Just off to cry.

I got offered one brand new via Yamaha/Kemble. didn’t have the money

They did in about 2010. Japan only.

I miss my 2 terribly. Sold then when the last band folded…which is sad as they’d become integral to “my sound”

Just 13 years in…I had lovely thick brown hair before that…

If I were an unmarried, childless man…I would still have them all 🤣

Sadowsky HPJ Blue Status Kingbass White CS 64 Jazz Burst Relic 56 CS P Yamaha BB1600 Modulus Flea erm… Listening back to last years band stuff, my Teal SR5 basically…lots of basses

Oh man…I lusted after that bass as a kid. Think…without being a stick in the mud…that the neck is nacked… In terms of cost effective repair

It’s still going…not as high as I thought it’d be

Had the same 2 padded Levy’s ones for a while now. Black one is 15 years old and bought the maroon one here about 6 years ago. no idea of the “model” - absolutely ace.

45 degree string through body on all… BB 242 - a reverse P - Alder BB 343 - as above p/j BB 747 - as above Laminate neck 6 bolt passive Alder/Maple Sandwich BB 949 - as above neck through Yamaha will introduce a Nathan East Pre pedal - like the Sadowsky Unit - with 9v in and footswitch - and an in built compressor this will be called the NE-BB pre and will be discounted when you buy in conjunction with the bass. and we’ll all be happy. Some decent Colours too…not just blummin sunburst and black or white

Typically Yamaha run like a car manufacturer, 6-8 years of a model and the colour changes happen towards the end. you’re probably right. now….if they do the “classic BB” like the 414 (basically a 1600 reissue) with the multi lam neck 424/1024/2024 with the fancy sandwich body and 6 bolt neck 434/p34 we’re getting close to perfection @Machines and I spoke earlier about this.

That’s the one… need neon pink Mohawk and leopard print spandex for that one

They crop up on reverb occasionally. Usually black

In the meantime 🤤

Think there was a very odd one, will look
