Basse
Yamaha BB1000S
Yamaha BB1000s bass, 34" scale 4 string neck-thru body made
by
Nippon Gaki Co. in Japan in early 1980's.
Rosewood fretboard 21 frets, passive electronics with "reversed" P with
a J pickup configuration
with vol,tone and a toggle switch.
Mahogany (I think) body wings with single dark stripe running
through middle of body that runs
to headstock, sunburst finish. Headstock has a stripe. A heavy bass
that came with rugged hard shell case.
Best versatile tone is with both pickups on, but you can
imitate
an old P bass with just "P" pickup soloed.
With just the "J" pickup soloed is a good sound for a solo
and is
trebly.
The bass has good growl and almost nails early Van Halen bass tone.
Sound is not too muddy and is like a good old P bass.
