    Yamaha bass historians - need logo help!

    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.

    Rare (?) 12-24 Truss Rod Nut

    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...

    Yamaha BB-G5

    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.
