Reversebird Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hi all I'm looking to find the age of my BB1100s. I know it's made in Tawain and the Yamaha date code means it's either 1987 or 1997 as they rerun the dating letters every 10 years. It's a sort of violin sunburst colour. One thing I do know is it's exactly the same as my 1986 BB1100s which was made in Japan and is natural colour. Weight feels the same wood quality is the same. Electrics, bridge, knobs, tuners everything. So does anyone know 1: when was production for basses was moved to Tawain 2: what year did they stop making the BB1100s 3: are there and differences in the later Tawainese ones compared to the earlier ones as I believe all the components where the same on the early Tawainese ones as the Japanese ones just not produced in Japan ? I'd like to think mines another eighties one but who knows. Any help would be appreciated. Quote
