YBB-841, YBB-641, and YCB-861 are all the same height give or take deviations in manufacturing.
YBB-641 has a bell flair of only 16.5" with very little "mushroom" to the bell rim.
The YBB-841 is the 641 body with a gold brass version of the YCB-861 bell which measures 17.75" by adding more "mushroom" out to the bell rim.

Hey Matt, is it the same body but with a different wrap for the 4th? I'm trying to go by what is in the Yamaha photo... I really would like to play one sometime, they look like a great instrument!

Having only seen and played one YBB-841 it was my remembrance that it looked like the same bottom bow, top branch, etc. as the YBB-641 that was next to it.
