probably the best bass in this price range.

i wish it were a 4 string.

I've heard this bass many times and posed with it once. It's killer.

bump for a great bass and person.

Quick question:
Are Nordstrand P-pups configuration vintage-incorrect like that (i.e. The A string pole pieces are on the wrong bobbin. They should be on the B & E string bobbin.), or was that one possibly installed backwards?

Nice bass either way.

They were installed backwards. I was gonna flip them, but it sounded great so I didn't.
Plus I was lazy!

Ooooohh....GAS-inducing. Overseas?

BTW, is the original system passive? MIJ or in Taiwan?

I'll do over seas.
But shipping is gonna be expensive for you!

Original system is active with 2 band EQ.

The wide neck BB5000 with Yamaha branded hardware were only made in Taiwan.

bbjonz · #9 09-15-2009, 10:53 AM

Please confirm whether MIJ or in Taiwan. Thanks.

Taiwan

Taiwanese Yamahas tend to really be nice, at least up to 2002-2003.

It's the newer ones that are a step back in quality, IMO.

MikeBass · #12 09-20-2009, 10:34 PM

Yeah, and I know coming from me it sounds like a sales pitch, but this bass is real nice.
Quality is top shelf.

Oh, Yama-bump
