Yes a BB3000 reissue would be the thing of dreams but I don't think that will be on the cards 😔 It will be interesting to see what Yamaha has planned for 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdee Posted Monday at 14:51 Share Posted Monday at 14:51 15 hours ago, Brian18242 said: Very interesting! Where did you hear this? I for one would like to see the return of the bigger body BB basses 🔥 I'm currently on the lookout for a BB424x or 1204x 👍 Someone in retail told me that when it comes to new models,Yamaha work in cycles. The previous BB range was in production for seven years. The current range which replaced it has now been in production well over seven years. Also, the fact that Yamaha has introduced new colours for the P34 suggests they want to get rid of their stockpile of parts for that model in preparation for it being discontinued. Nothing that definite, it must be said, that's why I said it's just a whisper. However, this chap is in regular contact with the Yamaha reps ect, so he might know more than he's letting on. He has always known what he is talking about in the past. Regarding new models, I would love to see a BB3000 but with the pickups and bridge from the BB2024. That would be a mouth-watering prospect. Very unlikely to happen though, unless Yamaha is tapping into my imagination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan63 Posted Tuesday at 08:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:53 I wrote to Yamaha over a year ago to suggest they capitalize on the Revstar and make a short scale bass version, pointed out the success of the JMJ and Joe Dart ss etc.. got a polite reply from the European distributor, I doubt the suggestion made it to Japan though 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted Tuesday at 11:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 Think that would get a fair amount of interest from us short-scalers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
