I love this new signature model. The looks, sound, style. What are the chances it will go into production? This has definitely thrown a spanner into the workings of my future purchase plans!

songofthewind Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes indeedy! I love my BBG4AII from waaay back, and cant be doing with these oddly shaped BB’s everyone is obsessed with. Even though I used to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumimajava Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Liking the looks, and saw him play it live today. Definition & clarity is fantastic - didn't hear of the very low end of the range often enough to comment on it. Most of the night James East was playing the lower register (and sounded absolutely colossal on his InnerWood 5-string ). Given how the bass sits, it looks like the access for upper-register playing is very comfortable. Would very much welcome it if Yamaha made this into a production model - though a lighter weight would be welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuf Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi guys, Do you know if they intend to do a production model? I’m really a huge fan of the bass itself and I love the sounds Nathan gets from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how all 3 are 6 strings and neither made it to production. However the Attitude 30th anniversary... Looks wrong but I bet it sounds amazing 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha love it. It was more the lightweight, shirt length (not scale) that appealed. The JP model I also love - but I’ve been wanting, ideally, a 5er hollow body that hasn’t got Ibanez or Warwick on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see a Casady 5 but done properly. I’d have a C on mine rather than a low B. I’m sure a decent luthier could do one. Mesinger/Marcuzyck do the Joker - looks similar to the smaller Yammy.

EBS_freak Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’d want to play one completed and not chance a build like that on a luthier as the acoustic properties are pretty significant. Ive looked at The Joker. Pants name. And again, not really one to try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I could quite happily live with it. I don't mind the 'holy' body but I can't quite get my head round the headless thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Laminate body to give it the strength that it would have had if we hadn’t made that yawning chasm in it in the first place. Right..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right..... Yammy have been using laminate body design for a while. And same for their necks. Nothing new in that for them and partly why you will find precious little complaint about construction quality from their army of happy fans!

EBS_freak Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yup. Yamaha - especially their higher end stuff, is incredibly well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDWagstaff Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 According to his recent bass tales video with Scott Devine the design is based on the silent guitars. They went for headless and the bracing was originally detatchable so he could pack it down as small as possible for use on a plane to practice for a Pattitucci gig he was covering. It was only after the initial designs that they decided to permanently fix the brace to the body. (Also why it's a six string and not 5) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
