Yamaha BB V jazz bass
Made in Japan, 1985
Got it from a dude nearby and he said he got this from japanese auction. Actually it's been a little while since I had it in my hands but It took me few days to work on.
It was relatively in such a good condition, but the hardwares were rusted away so I replaced the machine heads and the bridge to Gotoh.
Kinda wierd that it's named V and it's not 5string, I found out that this model was released a year earlier than the BB5000 which was first mass manufactured 5str with lowB.
I freakin love GB707 design.
Now I have two BBs from 1985 and they are clean as fkn whistle.
ErnieBall smoothie flats on V and LaBella gold flats on VIII.
I'm definately gonna get a round set for the V.
It's sick that I got one PP and another one JJ while BBs are going for PJ.
One annoying thing, pole pieces are flat, so E and G string sounds much bigger than the rest.
But it's okay it's beautiful.
I'm happy with it!
