Yamaha’s got on my radar when I wanted a bass to start playing and learning music again. I just couldn’t find a bass that had such features and build quality for the price. So I got a bb434 and loved it so much I immediately looked into the history of the model. Then I found out about this one here, a 1984 3000s, being on sale 20mins from my place. I couldn’t resist and am so glad I didn’t. It’s perfectly balanced, the neck is slim, narrow and well played in. And even though it’s a PJ style it has it’s very own punchy and resonant tone that reminds me of a piano. They’ll bury me with this thing in hand. I had never heard of them before and they are kinda rare(there’s 3 on reverb) so I wanted to share this great instrument with fellow like minded people. Get one if you can.

Any other BB fans around here? Any other somewhat lesser known basses you guys think we should check out?
