I haven't, but that's because I like switches and I don't like bridge pickups 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 How can we persuade Yamaha to give us fanboys a greater choice of finish to their existing range of basses in 2019? Vintage white anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yamaha have never updated their range with a new bunch of colours to my memory. I assume you could get a P34 or P35 in a custom colour though, as I've seen one BB2024X in satin black with painted neck and another with a maple board. Don't expect them to be cheap though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a used one and pay sims to spray it. Would be cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage white anyone? They have offered white in most of their previous lineups. would have liked the option in the 7 series but admit I am liking the satin black on my 734a nice and silky, forearm doesn't stick to the satin finish as can be the case with gloss.

Al Krow Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ooooh brings back memories... My first ever six string axe (and you can see where guitars got that description more clearly from the above pic than anything else) was a Gibson SG, bought it in 1981. Burgundy. Sold it a couple of years later to a mate who still has it to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards the HX at the moment because I don't think I need the amp/cab sims, but I won't be buying before the middle of January.

AndyTravis Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Found my trusty old Yamaha book... my BB1100s was made on 17th March 1987. there are 100’s of serial number systems. Crazy. The book isn’t that great to be honest, but gives some information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
