Wicked COOL bass…. For some reason the headstocks on those necks always reminded me of a Samurai Sword…

Yeh they are called Flying Samurais :slight_smile:

It’s my favorite bass style, I love my SBV-800MF.

Sweet. Yeah the BB2024 line was the pro level from about 15 years ago and they still go for about $2k. Really great.

Very nice SBV too :slight_smile:

So cool!

I’m a giant Yamaha fanboy.

Wish they bring back the damn SBV… one day.

OK, probably my favorite Yamaha bass I’ve seen. I love my BB, but hate the color!
