Yamaha BB Limited 5 / BB LTD 5 – 1990s – Natural Finish – Warmoth Neck


Rare 1990s Yamaha BB Limited 5-string bass, also known as the BB LTD 5. This model is known for its unique factory combination of Yamaha BB design, Warmoth-made neck, JJ-style pickup configuration, and natural vintage-style finish.


This bass is not modified. It remains in its original factory configuration, with the exception of the control knobs, which were replaced after the originals broke.


Features include:

• 5-string Yamaha BB Limited / BB LTD 5

• Made in the 1990s

• Warmoth-made neck

• Alder body

• Natural finish / thin lacquer-style finish

• JJ pickup configuration

• Passive-style control layout

• Red tort-style pickguard

• Original factory pickup configuration

• Replacement control knobs only


This bass has a strong vintage Yamaha feel with the added character of a Jazz Bass-style pickup layout. It delivers a clear, punchy, articulate tone with a solid low B, making it great for funk, gospel, rock, Latin music, studio work, and live performance.


Condition is used/player-grade with visible cosmetic wear consistent with age. Please review all photos carefully. The bass plays well and has the tone and feel that make these older Yamaha instruments so respected.


Note: The only non-original parts are the control knobs. No other modifications were made by me.
