blazer3 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I"ve picked up a bbn4 today (did a swap for a pair of binoculars) and all the bbn4"s ive seen on the web have the 2 either side tuner configuration but mine has the 3 and 1 configuration and i cant find any pics anywhere of that model, the yamaha website dates it to dec 06. can anyone shed any light on this model, its natural in colour, serial number is stamped on back of headstock. Needed a good clean and the action lowering quite a bit plus its picked up a few battle scars as the guy used to gig with it but overall its in pretty good nick, came with a very tatty hard case as well. Im pretty chuffed as i think i got the better part of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just to reassure you, my shop sold one of these about 2 years ago used. I nearly bought it Myself! I think Musicman basically have a trademark/copyright on the 3+1 headstock and they gave Yamaha a bollocking accordingly. Thussly, Yamaha changed to a 2+2. I suppose it could be classed as a more recent 'Lawsuit'. They are greatr passive basses though. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
