BB2000 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 [quote name='Turk' timestamp='1328408947' post='1526647'] My BB3000, with recently fitted Badass II bridge. [/quote] Very nice! I thought it would look a lot like the MA 3000 (with the Gotoh bridge) but it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3000S Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My most recent addition, a BB1024X. My expectations were quite high, and this baby exceeded them by a mile. It really is an awesome bass, neck is chunky nice yet very fast and extremely comfy. Neck PU soloed gives a very organic P-style sound, adding in the bridge PU gives that classic Yamaha BB edge to it. And finally the bridge PU alone has one of the greatest burpiest characters around. Oh yeah, weight is a perfect (IMO) 4.2kg, and it balances perfectly on a strap. Try one out if you get the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Awesome bass, going on ebay for around £600 too. I'm tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, they are a bargain also at that price. I got mine 2nd hand in as new nick, I'd go so far as to say it's the best bass per ££ I've ever come across.

[/quote] Yup - It was Paul_C He collected each model in every colour available! He lives round the corner from me - alas the basses were sold years ago now.

Horizontalste Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like the 400s tone with the flats, I might try some on my 300. The 1300 has a nice rasp too but the 415 and the super Bb sound superior in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I thought I'd share my 4 Yamaha's The BB2024MX is new and I'm blown away by the passive tone from these pickups. The build quality, given that it's made in Yamaha's Japanese 'Custom Shop' is perfect, 10/10. The neck is completely free of dead spots and the colour is like butter. I always missed my CS Ric because of 'that colour' and now I'm happy again. I always wondered what the 'passive fuss' was about and now I know: [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1861702876&k=6HF8pHZ&lb=1&s=A][/url] Now for a pair of TRBP's, my 4 and 6 string. Both 34" scale Mk1's: [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1861702677&k=nWVHVfw&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1861703529&k=mfBvV7N&lb=1&s=A][/url] And finally my Mk1 TRB5 that's also in great condition for it's age, again a 34" scale bass. This one is probably going up for sale due to redundancy (work not basses): [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1861703192&k=pXndzrR&lb=1&s=A][/url] Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
