Yamaha Motion B MB-40C Bass - Blue Burst - Made in Taiwan (1999)

The MB-40 was part of Yamaha’s Motion B series, designed as a compact, comfortable bass. It features a bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, and a P/J pickup configuration for a blend of punchy Precision-style low end and clearer Jazz-style articulation. Electronics are passive, controlled by three knobs for volume, pickup balance, and tone.

Hardware includes a Yamaha four-saddle adjustable bridge and sealed tuners, typical of Yamaha’s reliable late-90s production. The compact body and slim neck profile make these Motion B models particularly easy to play.
