Very nice Andy, very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

The witdth is 40mm exactly like the 1000ma. The body is smaller than the org. BB shape. It is modelled after MA's old BB2000 and in my opinion they developed a really great shape. And ...Michael is not a very tall guy so I think he might have wanted something "smaller" than a BB3000 was then...

Concerning the serial numbers of the BB3000ma: Found a pic / page with a serial number of the same system like mine and a stated date on it so that I know the used number system for the BB3000ma is the one of Made in Japan, 1994-1997: #-letter-letter-###. Like so: 7FM123. So mine is also from 2001.

I emailed Yamaha concerning the serial number because with the systems listed I can't figure out the year of production ... let's see..

Well I would say.... one cool neck through does not change my mind totally because not every nt bass sounds like the MA. But this is a keeper. Or the beginning 🙂

Man, the 3000MA plays and sounds like a dream. It is the BB1000MA in "noble" . As I said before I had the chance to by one about 10-12 years ago and I did not go for it. This bass makes me look like a fool, it sounds so incredibly good !! It has a very nice "growl" . The neck is slightly thicker but still not "thick" . I wonder when I ever played a neck through with such a nice and hard attack. It is my sound dream come true.

Can somebody gif the link to the yamaha serialnumber - info side?

BB1100 (s?) ?

Man, that looks beautiful!! 👀❤️

Finally! The small AND the big guy..

I put the mobile on the floor in front of a 25 watts Hartke combo. I think it sounds great! 🙂 Q1111.m4a

And I got it for a.... GOOD price !!!

Forgot to say that it is my birthday present concerning half of the amount I payed... 😉 For august... 😛

It's a...BB3000MA with org. hardcase and org. strap, tool and keys for the hardcase. I would love to have a green one but could not let this go by... When played it with the old strings (prob. org too) I thought it was DEAD. With new D'addario steel strings it sings and growls wonderful. How and why can anyone do this to an instrument ??? It had a thumb rest glued on that had to go. Silly thing! A wonderfull bass indeed!!! 🙂 Happy!

The new bird is in da house !! 🙂 B-eautiful Bass 😛

How come that when you are waiting for a parcel...there's allways a weekend to survive..?

Yes. And I decided that I will not complete it. It is a solid piece of wood. Nice quality.

Anybody interessted in a BB (P/J ) body?

Finally got a tracking number! Monday shall be the day..... "I'm so excited..." *sings*....... :_)

Seller wants 4,32 Euro more for shipping. At least it sounds like shipping... 😛 Don't have a tracking nr yet...

Payed the shipping after contacting paypal. In the ebay auction that was linked directly to the paypal transaction the shipping costs were not included. Now I did my part... hungy for curry now !!!

At least the left over BB-body is for sale now.. 😉

Ebay just confirmed the transaction... only the shipping was not payed yet. Still a bit nervous because of that... it is black...sparkling black...

It is the end a long lasting search and the price is better than ever dreamed of... I guess the seller did not know well about the "make a price suggestion"- function...

Guys..... you won't believe what I was able to get my fingers on yesterday via ebay...... I can't believe it yet... not until the parcel has arrived...😱
