  1. I’d love to get my hands on a 3000MA but from what I can tell, they don’t come up very often...
  2. Out of interest, is there much difference between the 3000 and 3000MA, other than cosmetics..?
  3. I’ve never seen that either! I’d wanted to try the BB3000MA just to see what the reverse P config is like on a 3000. Strange they dropped that feature for this model.
  4. The body dimensions on the older BB’s are slightly different, they’ve slimmed down the new range a little... slightly ironic given they’re ‘broad basses’. The new ones also have standard pickup dimensions which means more retro-fitting potential.
  5. A ‘75 P Bass. Here in the FS section.
  6. I’d love to own this bass - would look lovely next to my ‘84 black BB3000! Unfortunately, I need to sell another bass before I do any further shopping 😭
  7. Here's my 1975 P bass. It's in great condition, the body has some marks where the paint has begun to crack in places however these are difficult to see given the black finish. The neck is pretty much unmarked and is a lovely, well figured piece of birdseye maple. Pots and neck stamp date to 1975. The pickup codes are not quite legible as the original pickup foam is stuck to the base of them and I don't want to tear this off. The case is in great condition, all latches working fine (no key unfortunately). Original pickup and bridge cover are present along with an old set of rotosounds, a lead and some old music that has always been with this bass. Weight is 10lb 5oz on my digital scales. Balances really nicely. The only thing missing from this bass are the original 2 screws that secure the chrome pickup cover (the 2 for the bridge cover are present), otherwise, everything you see is completely original. I'd encourage a trial in Cardiff, UK. I'm willing to ship at the buyers cost and risk. I frequently drive down to the Portsmouth area also if that helps anyone. Happy to consider any trades with cash in either direction. Now £2150 for a straight sale. Feedback:
  8. At one point I owned a BB1024 and a BB3000. Now I just own the 3000. They both have a very similar tone however the reason the 3000 has stuck around was the comparatively lighter weight (my 3000 is 4kg) and the depth of the neck was slimmer front to back. Both awesome basses though and there’s really not much in it.
  9. Appears to be in excellent condition - very tempting!
  10. A well used jazz bridge pickup with plenty of signs of wear and tear. It’s working fine. The current wiring is a little short and might require extending or changing.
  11. Barely used with box. Condition as new. £50 posted to your UK address.
  12. A solid set of Gotoh tuners, made in Japan. These were on a Yamaha BB3000 when I took ownership of it, they weren’t the original tuners (or correct colour) so here they are... They work just fine. They have a pitted / matted / dulled appearance as I think they are quite old, perhaps 80’s / 90’s... £50 posted in the UK
  13. A set of Wizard Thumpers for your P bass.. £50 posted in the UK.
  14. I bought this off eBay a couple of months ago for a project that’s unlikely to happen now. Cost me £50. It’s a nice 60’s style relic with good attention to detail. £35 delivered in the UK.
  15. My decision to by an old Fender was informed very little by logic, reason or rational thinking! It was more an emotional decision based on the way the instrument makes me feel and play. If all musical decisions were rational and logical, I fear we might be culturally poorer for it. Additionally, I don’t feel my old fender is ‘better’ than my Yamaha or CV squier, just different.
  16. Ahhh, my bad - I thought Andy was asking about the 3000’s in general. 👍
  17. Perhaps this was a custom colour but this rather lovely BB3000 is in ‘black / redburst’ - looks like an original finish to me. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_BB3000.html Also, Tony Kanal is pictured here with some sort of burst finish BB3000...
  18. Free to a good home or other project... This is a Schroeder 1515L cab. I got this before Xmas but unfortunately due to courier mishandling, it took a bit of a knock (see pic). The cab seems to work fine however the extent of the damage to the wooden frame is difficult to judge. Both I and the seller were reimbursed so anyone who would like this is welcome to collect it from Cardiff. Collection only on this. Kind regards, Graeme
  19. I haven’t heard of ‘Indian Laurel’ as a fingerboard material before? I believe the older CV’s were rosewood.
  20. I’m tempted as never owned a proper SVT - it’s just the phenomenal weight (38kg) that puts me off!
  21. I’m not sure!? I guess Tom could answer this question if required.
  22. I’ve owned this for just over a year and I’ve had my fun with this now... Whilst I’ve loved getting all Bootsy in the comfort of my own home, it’s had little use in a band context so time to move it on. It’s an excellent filter based on the Meatball with some extra features. Picture currently on my board but I can take some better pictures soon... £160 posted in the UK The following is Toms description: Input - this is a boost/cut to allow more control over the envelope. It's wired backwards due to the pot taper Trigger - This could be called threshold Attack and decay - these set how quickly the filter reacts Colour - This controls feedback/resonance. Careful with this one, you can kick out a ****load of low end with it Intensity - This is like a depth control, it is quite interactive with the trigger knob Blend - self-explanatory!! Gain, Tone and Level control the distortion that can be added in. This is a Rat clone. The three toggle switches on the left invert the phase of the signal, activate/bypass the Rat, and change the feedback on the filter. Half/Full/Off sets how the envelope is controlled. When set to Off, it becomes a fixed filter Up/Down sets the direction of the filter ("mwah" or "awum") High/Low sets the frequency of the filter HP/BP/LP sets the type of filter. Have fun!
  23. Oh damn! That white BB is tempting... be careful what you wish for eh!?
