Just had a quick play - man, this is a nice bass. Not sure what the string spacing is but it's easier to play than my other 5ers. Seems the reputation is well deserved...

Swing - Japan

I'm sure that people don't sell their Trace Elliot because they've found something that sounds BETTER, they just find gear that is LIGHTER. TE was in demand for a good reason - cos it did what you needed it to. You're right about the weight of an AH500 - I have one, weighs the same as two rhinos but man, it's a monster...tone you'd die for.

Darkness - Black Uhuru

Here's the 4 string

Mine....I had a BBG4 but sold it last year.

SUB has gone. Traded for this beauty..

I dreamed a dream - Les Miserables

Should never have sold my NS2000.... Probably have that on my headstone when I die.

Love these tracks you're posting @Bart Funk Bass. Keep 'em coming.

I wish.... I love headless basses (the 80s kid in me) and follow developments in the gear available. If they want to send me parts I'm sure I can find a way of using them..

Tie your kangaroo down - Rolf Arris

somebody sold that exact bass here recently...

I've been playing the BBG5s for about half an hour - don't know why but I'd forgotten how good the tonal package was on these mid range Yamahas. Lovely phat tones with that mid 80s Cappuccino feel - lovely. I'll be changing the strings to a lighter gauge in the next few days - maybe see if I can find a set of tapewounds in my desired range. Free set of strings anybody?

BTW I showed him how to play that!!😏😏

BBG5S (soapbar). Yet to plug it in but if it's anything like the 4s I had I will be happy. Also features in the video below.

Just got a new Yamaha 5 string in trade for a MM SUB 5er. Details to follow....

Somebody Help me out - Beggar & Co

Careful Pinocchio - you know you shouldn't tell lies.... GB sounded fantastic - unlikely Louder/Better than the TE - Never in a million years

The wind cried Mary - James Marshall Hendrix

...and Ashdown have amazing Customer service - you can contact them here as well as by phone/email/twitter/etc.

Life is what you make it - Frighty & Colonel Mite

Can make a difference though. Less hiss, buzzing and burping.
