The Yamaha BB mega-thread


Al Krow

Recommended Posts

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!

I have no doubt. 1 x White Pearl, 1 x Black on way. Both still cheaper than 1 white pearl from local guy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Forgive me for asking as I’m guessing you mentioned elsewhere - who’s doing them for you and how much? Toying with getting my 435 one done in tort.

Sorry couldn't resist making the 1900th post on this ridiculously active thread about basses which some of us clearly love a LOT!

I think the 40 pages or so we've posted since the start of 2019 have entirely coincided with a certain Andy Travis getting back his Yammy bug!! 😄
