Wow I never knew that they were worth this much now!

Thanks to your FS thread I probably won't sell mine now.

Here's a pic of a red one to give TBers an idea of what it looks like.

Good luck with the sale :hyper:

Yours is in WAY nicer condition than mine, so you should be able to get even more. But mine has MOJO.

Thanks for the bump!

Bump for a great bass (I have the exact same model - dig the really interesting bridge), and for a great seller!

Why'd the jack move from the side to the front?

jtlee · Feb 28, 2008

The previous owner liked the jack on the top (using a 90* angle jack). Felt it was more secure. I can put the jack back in the side and cap off the top if you like.

I really want a BB3000 fretted. If you know someone who wants to get rid of one, let me know. Thanks for posting those pics.
Thanks,

I remember these basses well from my days at Sam Ash in the late 80's. They were killers. Great tone and playability. That is a great price for a vintage Bass from Japan. Someone jump on this before I lose my willpower ! ! !

jtlee,
Thank you so much. I called all the way to Oklahome looking for one of these. I found one near me in Ft. Lauderdale, but he wants 1,100 and the tuning pegs aren't original. However, it played like a dream.

Do you guys know what type of tuners were used on those old BB3000's, and where could I get a set that matches the drill holes of the originals?

Those look like schallers from that era. I have a set, but in chrome (not the gold) if your interested.

Bump before the 'bay

what's sad is I sold my bb5000 like 6 years back for around 250 dollars. Hell, that was the MOST i could get for it hah
If only I had known...

If it feels good, it must be a Jazz Bass
