Members evan47 Posted February 22 Members Share Posted February 22 I have just acquired a Yamaha bb1300 bass from a local seller. The bass is a 4 string neck-through design and plays sounds and looks great. I would like some information on this model as to how many were made and if they were for the Japanese market only as there do not seem to be many around and were only made for one year as far as I know.

You will rarely find info on production numbers. they made 10, or 10,000. You'll never know. Also it helps to know the year of the bass. Thru my hunting, they came out in 85, and weren't around for long. Yamaha 1985 Guitars and Basses Catalogue 02 - Vintage Japan Guitars There's no 86 catalog and they weren't in the 87 one. Kinda like Ibanez. Put out a model that didn't make the catalog, then cancel it before the next catalog. Everything else though...
