Check out my new bass!
 

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Yamaha BBN5A. Can you say "Holy B string?" Yikes this is one killer bass--super tight and tone galore. One of the best I have ever owned. This B string reminds me of an older Modulus Q5 I had but man this is one sweet bass! Wish me luck!

rock on! :bassist::bassist::bassist:

Nice love that 3 band eq congrats.

That's good looking, my friend! I've always wanted to get my hands on an BBNE2...Nathan East's bass line & tone on the "new" version of Clapton's "After Midnight" is just AMAZING!

Enjoy the Yamaha goodness!!

Thanks for the wishes everyone! I would love the NE2 as well but this was in my budget..lol. This 3-band eq with the 3-way mid switch is yummy

I'm with ya', bro. I've always liked the BB & TRB series. Yours looks superb. Enjoy!

She's a beauty, for sure!

Frankly I am surprised this bass did not do well. I am a bit leary that it is discontinued but very solid and this one is a keeper.

Beauty.

Very nice, I like that color

Cool bass. Congrats!

"Holy B string!" Killer score!

We want a close up of the transparent label that explains what the knobs do, that's pure bass porn!! Congrats on the new bass!

Congrats. Ready to rumble!!!

I always wanted to have an Yamaha BBN5A. Congrats! I hate you!

Ok here ya go! Per your request--the close up of the eq template!

Nice, really nice. I had a TRB1005 a while back that was a super nice bass. Probably should have kept it. :smug:

I did several sessions with one of these in the late '90s and I offered to buy it off my drummer (it was an Industrial Rock project, and I felt his Bolt-On cut thru better than the Neck-Thru I was using at the time) and he was extremely smart by not selling it to me. Fantastic bass, and the only real difference IIRC between this and the 1-step-above "Signature Model" was that the BB East at the time had a higher grade of Figured Maple on top... electronics and hardware completely the same!

I have one too. Great sounding basses. Yours is a nice looking one too. Congrats!

Thanks for all the kudos! Now the search is on for "the" amp to compliment this monster..We shall see
