I ordered the Dunlop deluxe - doesn't fit on bass tuners - emailed the supplier to let them know I'll be returning it and asked for one that is bass suitable.

I think that we, as bass players, buy into "the Emperor's clothes" with a lot of stuff. If I've learnt one thing from gear tests at Bass Bashes is that we really aren't as good as we think at differentiating between gear - proof: the cheap/ expensive test at the Herts Bash...expensive basses did not fair well...and I suspect would do even worse today with the new cheapies on the market. IMO the "proof of the pudding" isn't what's on the headstock or where the gear was made, it's the subtle stuff like set ups, strings, and nuts. Even then 99.9% of punters and (I bet) most of us can't tell the difference. A good bass is a good bass wherever its built.

Some absolute corkers...keep 'em coming.

Did that used to belong to @xilddx?? If I remember correctly somebody was looking for a 5 string with this finish a few months ago

I have two recently acquired Yamaha BBG5 to go on here (currently at the luthier's) - one passive (3 knobs), the other active (4 knobs).

He's not clear if it's just one string or all four...

As @alyctes suggests why would you sell it for half the market price...

She's the one - Robbie Williams

I still do...possibly one of the best basses per buck on the market.

Fixed...when I was working from my phone there was no indication that formatting would be an issue...

I've bought two in the past - both were a complete waste of time - both made of brittle plastic that broke first time I used them. Since then I've gone without but having had to restring a couple of basses recently I may have changed my mind. I visited my local luthier today and he recommended the Dunlop one - it looked more substantial than those I'd had. D'Addario donated a few with snippers when they supported the Herts Bash - no idea what happened to them though.. Recommendations??

See for yourself what a beautiful bass it is...

Took a couple of my Yamaha BBG5s to the luthier for refining earlier so decided to pick up my Fame Baphomet 5er. OMG!! I'd forgotten what a great tool this is...sooo playable. I've updated the existing thread on here with more information about the instrument.

A message from the Fame factory: Hi Mick, the Baphomet 5 is comparable to the BE Exotic 5 model from Mayones: https://mayones.com/page/be-exotic-5/ Both are made in Poland by the same luthiers. The BE Exotic has an additional mahogany-top and instead of MEC-Pickups und -Electronics it comes with Bartolini-PUs and a Mayones 3-Band-EQ. The rest is equal. Best regards Dirk
