Yamaha BB1300

[evan47]

I have just scored myself a nice condition Yamaha BB1300 from a local seller.

Lovely looking/playing and sounding bass, rare too as they were only in the Yamaha catalogue for one year (1985).

Does anyone know just how many were made please?

That’s a very difficult question to answer.

 

Awesome bass though. 
 

Pics?

Nice find. That information will be hard to find. I’ve not found a dedicated forum for Yamaha like tokai. You could possibly contact Dan at Bass direct Japan. His very knowledgeable 
 

Where did you find the bass? It’s weird I do Google searches all the time for Yamaha vintage basses. Only Bassbros pop up with any from time to time. I got mine from Bassbros.

The guy I bought it from said it came from BassBross.

Makes sense. I knew it looked familiar.

Of course it's that one, you ever seen one before or since?
