SisterAbdullahX Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Edited this post as it was meandering just to say.... is there a Japanese made BB which is the same as the BB3000s (1.5" nut, matching headstock/body colour, no scratch plate, Jazz and P pickups) but has a bolt on rather than through neck?

2elliot Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Can't help with the bolt on, sorry. But are you saying the 3000s is 38mm at the nut? That's different to the standard BB3000. Quote

That's different to the standard BB3000. My understanding, which is quite possibly wrong, is that the 3000s has a 38mm nut width and the 3000 42mm. Quote
2elliot Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I was hoping that is what you thought. I'm now on the look out. Lol Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I can check the measurements for my own '85 Yammy BB1000s regarding nut size, it's neckthrough, MIJ, PJ (in fact reverse-P), no scratchplate but i'm afraid the headstock isn't matching. Best P or J i've heard Not for sale though stock internet pic: Quote

Hooch Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 The BB bolt-on bass you're looking for is the BB-X, non-export model i guess. I had one, sweet basses. Quote

Hooch Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Vintage ones haven't. Edited November 23, 2017 by Hooch Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 Forgot to take the measurement, i'll see if i can remember today as i'll be in my studio for a while with a new addicion to the MIJ collection. Quote
