BassApprentice Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Morning all, I've got a Yamaha SBV that simply isn't getting played enough. I bought it earlier this year as I used to have one which I adored but this one just isn't the same. It has been modified to have an [font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"]EMG-BQC preamp in it, my question is, since this is a relatively rare bass would I be better off restoring it to it's original set up (minus the battery compartment) for selling and then sell the preamp separately?[/color][/font] [font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"]Ta![/color][/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It's not the bass you thought it was or wanted. Don't throw any more cash at it. Sell it on and get something you like and want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorry, I just re-read my post and realised I didn't make it clear. I plan to sell the bass but would I be better off removing the preamp and sell the bass and preamp separately or is the bass worth more with the preamp in?

funkle Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Remove the preamp and sell both separately. You will almost certainly get more; people don't consider mods to instruments as generally adding much value. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
