cetera Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 It's the BB3000S. Not active just a little different... BB3000 Nut width: 43mm Usually 2 knobs (V/T) and a selector switch, some have 3 knobs Made in Japan Ā BB3000S nut width: 40mm 3 knobs (V/V/T) Made in Japan or Taiwan Ā 1 Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Is it true that Richard Page was approached by both TotoĀ andĀ Chicago to replace (presumably) Bobby Kimball and Peter Cetera respectively? Ā @cetera's user name reminded me! 1 Quote
cetera Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Yes. You are correct! Mickey Thomas (Starship) was also approached by Chicago. Quote

There's hardly a bad track on it. I remember buying it on vinyl and thinking how great it was back then. Gave all my vinyl away, this is one album I miss.

Muzz Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) He definitely played a BB3000A (the active one) later, and even,(IIRC) a BB5000A... Ā The BB3000S has a 40mm nut? Ohhh nooooooo, I thought I'd stopped looking for another BB because they were all (mostly) 42mm nut...this could cost me...Ā Edited October 5, 2023 by Muzz Quote
