The Yamaha BB mega-thread

My trusty pair of BB604 basses. Gave them a wipe down after a particularly sweaty gig last night, and thought they looked lovely in the autumn sunshine on my settee. 

 

Not traditional BB shapes, but BB basses nonetheless.

The 604 (Natural finish) was my first bass, I still have it, although I've refinished it a couple of times, everything else is stock. It's a great bass, especially for the price.

I've seen pictures of him with what looked like a black one on Facebook. There was a debate as to whether it was actually black or just the red looking black under certain stage lights. Hook himself answered clearing the matter up, but I can't remember whats his answer was now. 

Not a lot of of help eh? 😁

He said it was black...

It appears the BB734, and presumably 735, is available in the classic BB red and green. 

I still love the coffee burst (genuinely better in the flesh than most promo pics) but that green is rather tasty.

The lack of colours was the only excuse I had for not seriously contemplating buying one.

 

Now, well yeah - that green is nice.

 

Although knowing Yamaha, you'll only get the 5er in the red and some other colour that isn't available for the 734.

Their colour options are, at best, odd. I absolutely love the metallic orange but I think it's only available on the 414.

It's great to see some more colours added to the 700 series,  classic red and green... if I was being picky , I wish they had matching headstock and back of the neck...
