Yes, a few were. I don't know which numbers specifically but they do exist. |

Of the more recent lines, Yamaha have always offered some of the more affordable models as lefties. Models like the BBN4II, BBN5II - the only lefty 5-string BB, I think -, 404, 604, 414, 614. The 414 and 614 reintroduced the classic BB bodyshape. There haven't been many lefties of the classic Japanese BB-series. If you have lots of patience, you may be able to find a BB1100S, BB1200 -made famous by a certain mr Paul McCartney-, BB1200S or one of the very affordable BB300's. And here's a fellow forumite who has a BB1600: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5257&hilit=yamaha Someone here once linked to an eBay auction for a BB2000, but that must be rarer than hen's teeth. I've never seen another one like it. |

I sold a BB414L and I got one back recently for $300 cdn because I missed it too much. Best bass buy for the bucks, really. Go for those 414 |

The BB414 and BB614s have seemingly fallen off the face of the earth. They were pretty prevalent a few years ago but they rarely pop up these days. (Same goes for the Hamer Slammer bass. Remember when they were everywhere too?). |

5 years ago paid $120 for an old entry level red BB300 in "like new" condition. Totally stock and nuke-proof construction. Great bass and I still have it. |

BB400 I bought it new in 1983 after my '75 Precision was stolen. The bass is completely stock. A fantastic bass. Incidently it has the widest neck I've ever seen on a 4 string.

If one of you won that auction I'm mad at you. I got into a stupid argument with my co-worker regarding something not work related and missed the auction ending. Just kidding.....well maybe half..... I've been looking for one of those for 4 years and have only seen 2/3 come up for sale. I've been second guessing wanting one though so I guess I'm not too upset about it. |
