1980 Yamaha BB1200 - Sunburst

The Yamaha BB1200 from 1980 stands as one of the most celebrated basses of its era, emerging from a period when Yamaha was producing some of the finest neck-through instruments outside the boutique world. Finished in a classic Sunburst that highlights its sleek, purposeful lines, this BB1200 delivers a strong, articulate voice with a wonderfully responsive feel that makes it equally at home in subtle, supportive grooves or more expressive, forward bass work. Yamaha’s long history of precision craftsmanship and musician-focused design is on full display here, offering a bass that feels solid, refined, and deeply musical without ever drawing attention to itself. This example is in excellent condition, presenting beautifully and performing exactly as these golden-era Japanese instruments are known to do.
