I'm amazed at how pristine that jazz is. Never seen a better example of a jazz
-
I saw this 'slightly' worn Jazz bass on eBay and thought it could be someone's dream bass https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264754366975

Having had this set up permanently for the last week I think I'm going to keep hold of it for a bit longer. Could just be a 'sellers remorse/2nd honeymoon' type thing but for now I'm really enjoying playing it again. Hi all, For sale here is my Warwick Triumph Lite (Rockbass). It's hardly used but does have a couple of dings which I've included in the photographs. Comes with the body attachments. Looking for £700 (oto) or maybe willing to trade for these basses: Yamaha BB of similar value Ibanez ATK 8 series (4 or 5 string) Ibanez ATK700 with cash my way Price dropped from £700 to £600! Collection from Wigan or can meet within reason. -
Pat said in the interview while a Miki signature won't be a thing, they do use what the artists want to inform the next models and said that the pick up config is part of that consideration. While not a definite, he hasn't ruled out an MM pickup production model in the future
-
For those interested, there's a live stream of Pat and Miki talking about his custom MM inspired BB
-
Bump on this thread as I'm curious about the difference between the eich and P&D boards
-
I asked Miki, there's no plans for a production model
-
I never realised this is the colour I need my BB in
-
I would assume it's based on the newer BB 's
-
Just seen this posted on Miki Santamaria's Insta stories... Always wanted a BB with a MM style bridge pup. It's a shame there's no sign of a production model.

I also have a BB615 which I swapped out the preamp in it for an Aguilar OBP3, complete transformation and was my primary bass for 8 years before getting this one. It's currently still my go to recording bass and has impressed every engineer that I've worked with. Again, the bass was about £300 (end of line as they had just brought out the bb42* series) the build and playability where great but the original preamp is what let it down. 1 upgrade and I'd happily stack it up against higher end instruments.

I've had the 605 for about 18 months now gigging it most weekends. I find it to be an absolute fantastic instrument, plays wonderfully and it's a decent weight. Everyone who has seen it compliments it's appearance. I do plan to upgrade the electronics to nordstrand at some point in the not too distant future as the sound is decent, but could be better. But for less then a grand with bass + upgrades I'd easily put it against much more 'high end' instruments. Bottom line; plays great, looks great, will be a fantastic instrument with upgraded electronics.

The X series has a scratch plate
-
I'm using Newtone Platinum's. Most excellent
-
Cost, lack of basic wood working skills and I like the body and neck of a bass to remain a unit unless it's already a franken build Edit: I also like having a neck pickup which this bass didn't have
-
This thread is pretty much the only thread I actively read on here
-
Wigan based sadly, thanks for the offer though My 615 is active without a bypass but I do believe the Pickups themselves are passive so there's nothing to stop someone installing a bypass for the preamp
-
Is there anyone out there with the 615 and the 735a? How do they compare in terms of feel? Considering getting the latter and stringing one with flats.
-
Exhibit A
-
Indeed! Tonally it's mint and I've used it for most of my recordings, the only reason I have the trbx as my main instead is purely because the BB dwarfs me haha
-
I can't remember off the top of my head, it was 9 years ago now and I got the nut changed to bone at the same time but I think it was about £110 for the preamp and about £30-40 for the installation
-
Also to note, thankfully the electronics cavity is big enough to accommodate an extra battery for an 18v system
-
I did indeed, I found the original pre to be a little harsh sounding
-
I have the 615, replaced the pre with an Aguilar which sonically has put it up there with £1k+ basses. Without fail it has been given compliments on how it sounds by everyone the first time they've heard it
-
I can't even begin to understand how something that extreme could happen. Then for someone to think it's sellable.
