beautiful but am i the only one that dark fretboards and light headstocks makes me twitchy?
I’d probably rather have this for less than half:

(extra string notwithstanding)
I’m simple kind of guy. A yamaha BB double P… yes, that’s bass porn imo.
Edit: If I thought I could sell off a couple of basses and extra pedals quick enough to turn them into that BBVIIx… It’d be mine right now.
I have been looking for exactly that BBVIII in that color locally low-key for a while.
That is absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah that’s triple the price they go for here. I have seen them as low as ¥23k.
Reverb is never a good option for Japan, sadly. I really wish it were.
I priced that one out this morning. Coming from China, by the time you pay shipping, taxes, duties and customs it comes out to almost $2700.
I spoke with a guy who toured some Chinese guitar factories and he said they were state of the art with all new equipment, very clean, etc…
But I’m just not ready to have a made in China bass in my stable, there may come a day but not today…
This was a Yamaha BB VIIx from 1984, made in Japan with double P pickups. It wasn’t made in China.
Ah-so
The nut looks narrower in the picture.
Yamaha BB VIIx Nut Width
The Yamaha BB-VII, manufactured in 1982, does not specify the exact nut width in the provided information. However, based on the context, the nut width for the BB series from that era is typically around 42.5mm to 43.5mm.
Just vinyl wrapped my pick guard with a carbon effect
I have owned two, they were quite good, both Warwicks.
Shijie makes better Fenders than Fender USA as well.
The CNC machine doesn’t know which country it’s in.
There’s great stuff produced in lots of countries and then there’s Gibson.
I had a Shijie and regret selling it.
