    The one in The Gallery is a nice thing. I tried it the other day. Thin neck, nice tone, looks the part. My reservation is that I think it might be a bit pricey for what it is. But I guess the gallery has overheads that we don't. Your shortscale will undoubtedly be nicer to play, and what with these both being quite 'thumpy' semi acoustic basses, I doubt the scale length will make any real diff to the tone. GLWTS!

    They have a similar one in the gallery atm. A Country Gentleman bass, made in japan iirc. That one is quite a lot more money. This looks like a bit of a bargain to me. GLWTS.

    Just found this thread. Well done. The bass looks lovely and those pickups sound great. What a result!

    That Fafner is a lovely looking thing. Congrats.

    I have a BBP34. Its a magnificent bass. I love it. Great sound, top notch components and build. Furthermore, as far as I can see, everything that Yamaha make, from mixing consoles to motorbikes are well thought out and supremely workmanlike devices. They do what it says on the tin very very well for a very very long time. All that being said- and I hate to sound cynical- what the IRA treatment boils down to; They take the bass, shake it for a bit (albeit at various specific and pre planned frequencies), and that is meant to make it sound better? I mean, who am I to judge.....?

    I'm interested, but sadly I don't have the cash! I hope someone bites. Its not a great time to be selling gear generally I think. There is a lot of nice gear on hear ATM which is just not shifting...

    That is very cool. I'll dig mine out at the weekend and have a look inthe cavity. Many thanks.

    I'll have a look when I have a mo. You wouldnt happen to know what the resistance accross your one is would you? If its the same as mine then I might just be expecting too much...

    I've got one of the original ones. Its a lovely thing but the pickup is a bit weedy I find. How does it compare to the Eastwood ones? Also, I wrote to Paul Day (The Guitar Guru) in the pre internet age looking for some information on the bass. I seem to remember he said they made 73 six string ones. Which seems like a suitably bizzare number...😆

    A ludicrously good bass for the money. Someone will be very happy with this. GLWTS.
