These are great basses. Made in Taiwan, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but might be less collectible than the MIJ models. Knobs are non-original, but easily replaceable.

Re: Yamaha BB1600 MIT
Waaaay overpriced, and the finish is stripped. These came in either black or white. It's quite an ugly body too, with a veneer top that stops at the forearm contour. Condition is not "very good", the new finish on the body looks very coarse and rough (zoom in on that lower horn!). Thanks, but no thanks

That's one hack of a job!
Re: Yamaha BB1600 MIT
I sold one in much better condition about a year ago for around $500 less than his asking price.
This very same bass was posted on CL for $250:

Re: Yamaha BB1600 MIT
Agreed on all counts- mine was black and looked way better than this…. And sadly I sold it for peanuts… lesson learned..
