Yamaha BB3000 1986 Japan **SOLD: PENDING PAYMENT** £1100 Hilversum, `The Netherlands

[will4bass]

For sale: delicious Japan built Yamaha BB3000 from the 80's. No issues. Great condition. Light/great balance. No case: can arrange for a generic one if desired (€50).

Nut width is 39,5mm which is smaller than the more usual 44mm. The weight is about 3821 grams on my kitchen scale. Not 100% accurate, but it is a light one for sure.

Definitely something special and likewise the BB2000 from this decennium. Shipping at expense/risk buyer well packed worldwide. 

Need I say more? Let me know!

Andy buys a Yamaha BB most weeks. Hence why he can't afford yours!

This looks like new, are there no marks or scratches anywhere? What year is it? It says 80's. Any issues with the neck please?

I have a mate (yes really) looking for one of these.

Hi Tom, I checked the Yamaha serial number dater and I'm quite sure this one is from 1986. The bass has some superficial tiny scratched which even might disappear with polishing... anyway it has been played but the condition is fabulous. Things like the bridge and the pickup covers are like new. Let me know if you want t know anything more. Oh yes, the bass is technically 100%. The truss rod works smooth and fine. The electronics are perfect etc.

Photo's are just taken with my iPhone in subdued light (closed curtains during the day to avoid to much reflection) without any photoshopping etc. It really is that beautiful!

Dang - you've even got me tempted now!

Fortunately (for me) I've just counted and it's missing a string (phew!)...😂

[will4bass]

I can easily put a low B or high C on it so you have the additional range you desire with the comfort of a four string...

...but it will still be missing a string whichever way I look 😁

It's ok Andy Travis will be along again shortly. He doesn't like 5 string basses. He loves Yamaha BBs. He knows he wants this. He also knows we know that he knows he wants this.

And it's been nearly a week since he bought a Yammy, so he's overdue...😂

[Cairobill]

These are absolutely stellar. Would be on this like a shot if I hadn't just bought a shiny starry night finished BB3000A which is quite simply top notch in every way. VERY well made instruments...

[will4bass]

'...but it will still be missing a string whichever way I look 😁'

It's 5 notes difference only... 5 strings are cool, I play them too, but I wonder why more often lately..

I’d love to own this bass - would look lovely next to my ‘84 black BB3000! Unfortunately, I need to sell another bass before I do any further shopping 😭
