Yamaha Debuts BB3000MA Michael Anthony Signature Electric Bass
Answering the demand for a professional 4-string electric bass that emulates the distinctive sound of the early 1980's, Yamaha Corporation of America, Guitar Products, will unveil the BB3000MA electric bass at Winter NAMM 2001.
Named for Van Halen bass virtuoso Michael Anthony, the signature instrument recalls the classic sound and style of the BB3000S, which put Yamaha electric basses on the map nearly 20 years ago. The BB3000MA is a collaboration between Anthony and Yamaha Guitar Development (YGD), the company's R&D, artist relations and custom shop, which works in tandem with a variety of artists to develop new and innovative instruments.
Currently available, the BB3000MA is an ideal choice for the hard rock, jazz or fusion player needing a professional-quality instrument for the stage or the studio.
"This was always a great bass and now it's even better," says Anthony, known for his tight, hard rock style and flashy improvisation. "When I heard that Yamaha was doing an updated version of one of my favorite instruments, I wanted to be a part of it.
"The design was really a group effort," he continues. "Yamaha was really open to my ideas and allowed me to have input on everything from the body shape design to the hardware."
An improved, original neck-through-body design features a streamlined body style, P/J format Alnico V pickups and a low mass bridge. The fast, thin Maple and Mahogany neck and Ebony fingerboard offer improved access to the upper register. A low mass Hipshot® "D" Tuner™ lever lowers the bottom string from E to D. The headstock features a "4-in-line" tuner design and durable Nickel hardware. The body is available in Black Metallic and Mist Green Satin finishes.
"The BB3000MA answers the call of many dealers, artists and consumers to bring back the concept of the Yamaha BB3000S," states Ken Dapron, USA manager, Yamaha Guitar Development. "Thanks to Michael Anthony's input, we have been able to offer an updated version which emulates both that classic sound and appearance."
