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 November 18 Share Posted November 18 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...
Duroc17 Posted Tuesday at 15:21 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:21 This arrived about an hour ago. Keeper. Just put flats on it. Amazing tone, sustain, intonation, playability- yep 👍 well done Yamaha taking it to studio tomorrow- first gig Saturday 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted Friday at 07:39 Share Posted Friday at 07:39 The BBP34 passed its audition with the band. Had to turn the amp down. Noisy jazz pup but blended in was great and easy to change down the line. So easy to play. Wore thinner strap and after 3 hours started to feel it. But my wide strap will sort it. Balance on strap great. Did I say so easy to play? Well it was. Keeper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago First gig for the BBP and yep digging it At first out of the box, felt the BBP to be a bit soulless but totally got over that last night. Great to go from P bass to zingy jazz - my fender jazz has other qualities but can’t see it getting played ahead of the Yam at the moment 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
