  1. Your basses always look like what Gibson should’ve done in the first place. Brilliant.
  2. “These 3? I’ve had them for years!” *pooooooff* you’re back in the game. Works all the time in our house.
  3. Well if the sound ends up fitting, it will be gigged.
  4. Just daft things like “a really fuzzy bass sound might work here” - so you twist something and it’s there. No endless menu and preset scrolling. And much cheaper than buying a load of separate pedals
  5. I’ve had 2 now, they’re very good when songwriting “I wonder what chorus would sound like here...” etc. I buy effects and sell them, I rarely actually use them. So this is ideal, and also the tuner feature and volume pedal are ideal. In terms of my needs, it’s ideal.
  6. I’m so out now, this year I have bought... A new 210 A new posh tweed gig bag a Boss ME50B a new bass
  7. I think the bb714bs was the same price as a 1024 ish when new, but it really is just a 414 with a funny pickup layout. Now plays brilliantly and is acoustically very good. Feels a bit more “direct” than the 414, not sure if that’s these 2 basses having variance or having a great whacking magnet near the neck join adding something.
  8. I think it’s a valid thing to do, a £400/£500 bb with a MM set up. A bass in its own right rather than a budget “sterling” by MM. my two bb’s sit in very high company and hold their own. The 1024x I had was lovely, but I preferred the 414
  9. Yeah, Yamaha need to make these
  10. Woooo
  11. Love the joker, love that
  12. I’m up to my eyeballs in j types...but I’d be tempted 😂
  13. somewhat unintentional...but they’re all MHS
  14. proper update
  15. Just bought a bass, I have an excess of hard cases. this needs to go. A fairly slim ABS type, has a small crack in one corner - would be fine for general use or as shipping case. Some tape marks but would clean off. £25 collected or £35 shipped in uk. ish - open to offers
  16. Just bought a bass - these 50-110 ropes were apparently fresh on it. they're not for me at all. £10 plus £2 postage offers encouraged ta
  17. Change the awkward double post into a “basses on the settee” post
  18. Well...now wearing 40-100 d’addario. wonderful thing. And I’m back up to 2 BB’s. 1600 next.
  19. Did anyone actually try/buy the last lot he did? the Ashdown basses are made in conjunction with DL, think these are much smaller batches/to order.
  20. Pfft. Willy rub.
  21. I now want a BB with just that double pickup where a MM pickup would be. I hope Yamaha read this and realise I’m worth a signature model.
  22. Sort of JJ/P - full passive but push/pull on tone pot. Think that’s some clever “extra bass” capacitor or something. currently still at work as I had to do a house visit on the way home and didn’t want to leave it in the car. Needs tweaking to taste, and I’ll be binning the strings off (50-110 😟) I have some fresh ones in the house.
  23. BB714BS Lava Red
