pete.young Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I don't know why people don't seem to get excited about these - better quality than a late '70's Precision and 1/3rd the price. I love my BB800, wish I could justify buying this one.

JanSpeeltBas Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 come on guys, this is a great bass - wish he'd ship outside the UK...grab it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumble Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'm going to punt a couple of semi-serious bids on this, not a P-bass fan but it looks nice enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt-pluck Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) This was on eBay a few days ago and didn't sell. I agree with Pete - I've got a BB1000 and I love it - beautifully made with some lovely touches like the detailing on the bridge. Relatively rare too. They just don't seem to get the love like some other jap brands. Only weird thing about this one is that it definately does seem to have a Rosewood f/board yet all the specs I've ever seen list ebony - which mine is too. Still, not doubting it's originality and it's in lovely condition.... Pluck Edited July 2, 2009 by sgt-pluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnacleBob Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) I think the Yamaha BB series was as Iconic and as good as the Aria SB of the same era but just dont seem as popular now. Would I be right that the 1200 and above was a thru neck? BB Edited July 2, 2009 by BarnacleBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yes Bob, the BB1200 was a through neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
