Yamaha BB1000 Broad Bass, made in Japan 1977, natural finish. Vintage Yamaha stuff is coolest, so this therefore is definitely the coolest. The Broad Bass line debuted in 1977, so this is a first year example. The shape is similar to P Bass, but with pointier horns like a Gibson, a funky headstock and pickguard, original electronics, cute little oval inlays and a hefty high mass bridge. As with a lot of these Yamaha original designs, the tone is enormous. There's a whole heap of grind and definition through the mids and highs, matched by a hugely thick bottom end and a super punchy, tight attack. The look has a definite 70s twinge with the natural finish and black guard; This was a pretty high end bass in it's day, and it punches like a boutique beauty to this very day.
