I’ve often thought of getting a YOB precision, in my case 1973 but I would be scared to death to buy anything other than a bass that was either known to this forum, or from someone such as Andy Baxter. 😬

Just cross-posting this here in case anyone missed it in the other thread.

This is the Floyd era for me.

Really enjoyed this concert (and the album) and can’t wait to see them in Nottingham in a couple of weeks 😁

And I think I’d want all the sliders in place for that price.

Now, I’m a big fan of the brand but blimey 😧

Took mine to rehearsal tonight first time I’ve played it in nearly 2 years since getting the sadowsky. I’m still in love with it. Total keeper. 
 

I should think so, it is an absolute beauty 😍

Lovely 😍

Mmmm I have the very same myself. Wonderful basses and may I say, great photographs. 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful 😍. I’m still drooling from seeing the photos of the one owned by @AndyTravis

I am content with my current mix of amps, which alresdy includes 2 TEs 😃

I’m content with mine, but I still want to try one of these just to be sure. 😜

Oh for god's sake. Why couldn't you have told us it was crap? Why? Now I can hear my credit card whimpering from the other room.  

Rack ears do look a bit, errm, yes... I think I'd be getting busy with the T-Cut to get rid of the logo.

I heartily endorse these statements

As do I. I really do want to try one of these 😍

Wow, where are you guys finding this shiny stuff. Share it on the TE Facebook Group, people will faint!

I was just wondering the same. Some lovely kit.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets in April in Nottingham for me. Really looking forward to it.

That's very nice - does almost look new.

 

I'm still getting 100% reliable use out of the SMX250 I got from you @Deedee and it works a treat with the pair of 1x12's I bought from you @Sparky Mark... small world init!

It certainly is a small world. Glad to hear your SMX is still well. I will be getting mine repaired again because ultimately I’ve still not found an amp that I like more.

Mine is the same model (non-fan) but has alas developed a fault on startup where there is no input signal for what could be 10 minutes, then it just comes in and works fine. 🤷🏼‍♂️  To be fair it is a bit of a triggers broom now and it certainly doesn’t owe me anything.

Just snagged an excellent condition 1993 vintage no fan AH250SMX. Replaced the original insanely microphonic TE branded ECC83 with a new JJ and all is working perfectly.

Oooh very tidy. Congratulations 👏👏👏

So here I am, just about to post that I’ve bought another B3 (it’s like putting on an old pair of slippers etc, etc) and there’s a completely new offering from Zoom that looks the business.
 

That’ll teach me for not trawling these pages as often as I once did. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I really do like the look of these. I’m not even gigging at the moment but I’m still very interested. 😍

Beautiful bass. For me it was a toss up between Aqua or Charcoal Sparkle when these first came out, both stunning colours. If I was still gigging I’d have this so I’d have both! 😍

GLWTS 

Wonderful amps. All you’d ever need and built like a tank.

GLWTS

Beautiful 😍. Congratulations.

Bargain 👍

Surely the saddle groves should of been slightly deepened and polished. Seems like a bad design.

 

But yeah fair enough haha 😄 

That’s my point. Shims are simply another tool in the vast armoury of methods to overcome setup/manufacturing issues,

I had a Wal mkI custom a few years back that required a neck shim in order to increase the string break angle, as strings used to regularly/easily jump out of the saddle grooves. So even the alleged “best” makers can produce basses that still require a shim.

One piece quarter-sawn AAA Birdseye maple neck (7.25-12 compound radius)

Ooh that compound radius spec sounds like it’d be wonderful 🥰
