Who can help me with narrowing down the production date of this bass? I know the block letter "YAMAHA" logo was limited to a few years but have no idea which years. I don't have access to the instrument to read the serial number.
I had the outmost pleasure of talking gear with Mr. Billy Sheehan when The Winery Dogs came to Stockholm this past Friday! There were a few old, familiar friends in the setup (of course his Yamaha Guitars bass Hartke amps and the Line 6 Helix) but also a few new, cool additions - and some news...

Up for sale is a super cool and really great sounding Yamaha BB350! Excellent condition. Mid 90s. Sick sounding bass!
Deep metallic blue kids look out! I believe this was made in 1995, almost 30 years old and still kicking a$$. The sound is incredible. This is a professional sounding and playing...

I picked up this Yamaha entry-level fretless and would like to find the model, year and catalog specs. It has 2 J-type pickups, passive, V-V-T controls, lined rosewood fingerboard, and a higher-mass bridge.
The bass was manufactured in Taiwan and, according to the serial number, in a year...
Update: The Sonic Blue and Vintage White Attitudes have sold. The Brandy Wine Red I have changed my mind and decided to keep it.

Hi all,
A stripped truss rod nut (outer hex, not the threads) is the only thing preventing me from playing (or selling) my Yamaha BB 3000MA.
A 12-24 thread, with a 5/16" outer hex seems to be quite scarce, and I was hoping that someone here might have a source for one. I believe that any...
I just came into a Yamaha trb-4p for free. Surprisingly the neck was still good. That's a start. It's dinged to hell, the frets are lifting out pretty bad and are unable to be tapped back in. Must be glued or re-fretted and the preamp is fried. My question is what are the exact specs for this...

And im excited. Itll be pretty abstract. Definately playing some untraditional stuff. Itll be free. Kinda nervous about reactions ill get. Anyone else have a bass demo or an album out?
Starting with some back story:
After quite a bit of searching and waiting, I found this beautiful Yamaha Motion B on Ebay and soon it was sent my way. Photos from the seller:
But when it arrived, it had been dropped in transit, the box had some crush damage, and the bottom strap hanger...
Does anyone else get incredibly anxious when shopping for a bass ? (Even online shopping) i just get online and look at basses and get so excited that it creates anxiety lmao. Like yea I have an anxiety disorder but still bahaha
Hello, I'm a beginner bassist who purchased Yamaha BB435.
But IMO its B string is unbalanced and has short sustain with dull sound.
The string is stock and I just flatten my neck because the gap between 12th fret and strings has almost 5~6mm. Now it seems to have 3mm and plays nicely. And I...
So I have a weird fascination of the Yamaha brand and their basses. I know these models:
TRBX (insert number)
John Patticuci's. this bass will break your bank, signature; his brother the Nathan East signature, and Cousin the Billy Sheehan Attitude
The strange small Motion B series (hunting one...
Hi guys, I'm new here!
I really need help for my Yamaha BBNE1 Nathan East signature.
I bought this bass for a very cheap price, BUT the ex-owner litteraly changed all pickups and electronic, with home made ones, of course it sounds bad ahahahahah
Actually I already know that is impossible find...
I'm just a beginner so I cannot judge the sound, tension, low B, etc etc.
But it looks cool and not too heavy. The neck is smooth and feels very nice.

Hello folks! A while ago I post regarding a bass rig, for those who may remember yes I found what I needed! The combination was Ibanez BTB 406, Traynor small block 500, and a 4x10 eden cab. They did so far a great sound for me, I used for a church of about 100 peoples it had good sound.
Im...
Hey guys,
So two of the wires came off of the pickup balancer in the cavity of my Yamaha BB615. I'm assuming one of them is the 'hot' of my bridge pickup because I get nothing when I have the balancer knob all the way down towards the bridge. I'm not sure what the other one is, but I don't...

Hello everyone!
Today I found a bass for sale that catch my attention.
Is a Yamaha Motion Bass (looks like MB-2, see pics) and the price is 100$.
The seller don't know if the bass is made in Japan, or Taiwan, and also don't know it's year of fabrication.
Now I have a Shecter Raiden Deluxe-5 wich...
Anyone got any info on Yamaha BB-G5?? Always liked playing Yamaha basses. I’m thinking of adding a 5-string to my game. I’ve got my eye on a used BB-G5 online. I’m thinking it would be an inexpensive/quality bass to learn 5-string.
I own a westone spectrum GT that I've had since 1988. I really love it especially the thin neck that feels very fast and sleek. I'm looking into getting something similar in a 5-string and am also looking into picking up a fretless Bass also. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any guitars out...
Hey Y'all!
I'm new here, so I hope I am in the right forum spot. I recently acquired a 1966(?) Yamaha SB2 in a trade. This thing has seen some weirdness. It looks to have been painted (poorly) at some point in its life, and someone put wall paper on it at some point.
I'd like to semi restore it...
