i think you're right - don't know why i never thought about one of them because looking at that one right now is givin' me idears that are not in line with my microeconomic reality :snax:

also, unless that thing is displaying a particular 40th anniversary fade, i think that type of burst has another name than "sunburst" tho i can't for the life of me right now think what it is - i do like it better than what i think of as a standard sunburst fer sure :)*

edit: okayso, i see Gibson was calling that an "antique fireburst" at the time - that's not the term i was rummaging for, but i will accept it as a substitution for now :lol:

Not sure I've ever seen one of this exact shape or configuration:

yeah, i lurve that basic yammie shape - never suss'd that BB meant "broad bass" :facepalm:

but, yeah, Michael Anthony had Billy Sheehan and Nathan East beat in the looks dept.

i had one o'the cheepies way back - fine lookin' bass (BB614, looked 'er up)
i remember being disappointed that it was a natch finish instead of the Honda Element orange that was everywhere at the time (that and the original owner screwed a thumbrest in on the lower bout :idk:

in retrospect, dodg'd a bullet there on the orange or tangerine or whatever :lol:

but a 'burst woulda been high class indeed

i actually really liked the blade bridge pup - they shoulda kept that, even gone full blade. i remember it being a really good rawk-sounding bass, but also a decent all-rounder, but it had to go since i had no clue back then what i really wanted. these days i'd take an early 8Ts Ibanez or a BB (or that Washburn hawtness you posted! :love:

) over most anything that'd be hangin' in a pawn shop, if basses still hung in pawn shops.... That Gibson V.A. tho :drool:

too bad they're so pricy now

bought it for peanuts, sold it for cashew halves and pieces
lookin' at the current used prices of yamaha basses overall, i started thinking if i'd held out i mighta been able to get almonds :lol:

then i looked at sold listings and, well, maybe there is an opportunity for a score there for someone interested in the broad bass :idea:

i'd give it my seal of approval, but i can't find anything anymore....

and thus concludes my rambling overshare :oldrant:
