[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1416228086' post='2608068'] What is the string spacing on the hipshot ? Cheers [/quote] It's the .787 Here are the specs http://www.hipshotproducts.com/files/all/5stgastyle.pdf -
Pic gone but if anyone is interested get back to me, looking to trade for a Yamaha!
-
Alright man cheers I'll see if anyone tells me I'll take the pic down. I'm quite happy to keep the bass to be honest as it's great. Just thought the amount of basses I have might be getting a bit silly!
-
I did a wee search and there appeared to be others for sale, is it not allowed? I'm not actually selling it I want to swap it.

This is for [b]TRADE[/b] not for sale! So the price just reflects the cost of the bass and the upgrades. I am after an 80s Yamaha 4 string and would consider anything from that era. Might be interested in a good 4 string faker. Feel free to delete the ad if it breaks [b]any[/b] rules! [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi I have an immaculate retrovibe RV5 5 string bass. Great bass monster tone lightweight and very cool.[/font][/size] I am after an 80s Yamaha 4 string. I picked a 5 string BB5000 which necessitates moving on the retro. So what old Yammies do you have? Electrics have been completely upgraded. [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Stock pups have been replaced by Cats Whisker custom humbuckers. This is from Alan who made the pick ups[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][color=#8F0B00]"A thought is to possibly make you a pair of pickups with what I’d consider to be a “standard” winding and add an extra section of coil with a couple of taps on it. This would give you the options of the basic pickup tone plus two levels of “warmer” tone – three in all. You could pick the two that you prefer and use a toggle switch to select between them.[/color][/i][/font][/size] Tuners are Wilknson's and the scratchplate was made by the bass doc, it also has a custom TRC which is excellent and the knobs are from a well know brand of bass. Other pics available on request.

I have a Badass V and a Hipshot bridge for trade. Looking for a replacement bridge for a 4 string MIM Jazz something that slots straight in Badass or Gotoh.

I went to see it. The bass was in cash converters it wasn't in bad nick but I just got a bit of a bad vibe so decided against it.
-
Thanks for the info guys I'm actually am going to see one which is priced at £180.

Hello folks looking to pick up a cheap but half decent fretless for taking abroad. Saw one of these for £180. Potentially some give on the price. Not clapped eyes on it but apparently in good nick. Is it worth it?

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1413233398' post='2576264'] How is that ls2 wired up? Ivery got a b3 on its way and I already have an ms60b so my pedal board will shortly look very similar! [/quote] I'm just using the ls2 with 2 basses as an A/B switch. My rick and fretless stingray have considerably different output levels. So the ls2 allows me to modify the volume and have them both plugged in at the same time.
-
Lovely I wish it were a 4 string! -
The BB1000s and 1200s look great as well thanks for the heads up. Back to obsessively checking out ebay and gumtree!
-
Hi everyone just picked up an 80s BB5000 and am very impressed. Although I don't need any more basses I'm thinking about a similar vintage 4 string. The BB3000 looks like the best option but any info on other models, as they all look quite similar would be appreciated. Also depending on cost I might look at a fretted and a fretless. Any advice on these would be gratefully recieved.

I have just bought a BB5000 and I think it is a tremendous bass. Fantastic build quality and sounds amazing. The string spacing is tight though!
-
A bit boring I know but I quite like it! [attachment=173297:pedal.JPG]

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1412623793' post='2570574'] Next you'll be backing Clapton and Collins.... [/quote] Lol!

Had a jam tonight with it, just completely knocked out monster tone.
-
Just got the bass back from the luthier, what can I say he has done an incredible job the bass looks incredible the partial refin is fantastic. He restored the original electrics (got rid of the blend pot) and sourced some original speed dials. I'm over it. Sounds immense. Gassing for a four string now! [attachment=173116:photo 2.JPG]

Was in me old mum's house and found this old pedal I bought 30 years ago. The output from the wah seems a bit weak but the battery is about twenty years old. Quite chuffed! [attachment=172730:crybaby.JPG]

Have you looked at the zoom MS60B multistomp? It's an amazing thing. Pretty much all the sound sounds of the B3 in a stompbox. I own a B3 and an MS60B. For me the B3 is much easier to use but the MS60B has the option of four pedals in a patch as opposed to the B3's three and is incredibly cheap. My plan is to use them both the MS60B for always on effects and the B3 for all the others.

Dunno where you are based but I've been knocked out by the work of a guy in Scotland, George Russell. He is refinishing part of a BB5000 I bought that some mad man had taken a sander to. I've not seen it in the flesh but the pics are dynamite. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/244077-yamaha-bb5000/page__gopid__2561985#entry2561985"]http://basschat.co.u...85#entry2561985[/url]

Just saw some pics on the luthiers facebook page and I am completely over the moon! What a job this guy has done not a full refin just matched the colour and smoothed it out. Doing the set up Monday. I can't wait to be honest. I can really recommend this guy, if you are in the Glasgow/West area .... brilliant. [attachment=172555:refin02.jpg] [attachment=172557:refin01.jpg]

Just bought one of those Roland BCB 60 things on the bay of E looks cool.
-
maybe I wouldn't add the minitaur.
-
Hi Chaps anybody recommend a pedal board. I'm currently looking at something that has to be over 70cm wide. Main things will be a B3 and expression pedal, a moog minitaur, a line selector and another pedal (probably an ms60B). Powered would be good and what do you do if you have 9 volt and 12 volt pedals? Just looking for ideas and see what I can pick up second hand without breaking the bank!
