Sound was great, it just was not the "step ahead" that I thought it woud be compared to my 1000ma. The 10000ma is lighter and felt somehow "faster" ...and my quiet new 414 does not feel or sound "cheaper " than the 1024. By the way..I live close to the "Musicstore" in Cologne and I did not like the 2024 basses I could play there, nor the BBP34 that they have. I don't know why...

Had a white 1024 that was far to heavy and had a bassball racket as neck. Had to go soon again.

And this kind of finish is my second thought...great ideas here guys!

If an orange one will cross my way it will get a scratchplate 😛

Of course both can look good! Andy's looks realy cool with it ! Pics like his made me think about it 😉

I was thinking about putting a scratch plate on the 414 but I like it so much the way it is....

Did I mention that I like it ? 😛

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?
