My usual practice technique these days
AndyTravis replied to stingrayPete1977's topic in General Discussion
Mine involves revolving the lines around in my head. Turning up to practice and playing. i was afforded 1 hour of ‘practice’ this week. brilliant 🤨🔫 -
@Bassislife16 rancid that mate - looks broken. i’ll give You £50 and sort it, I’ll be selling it at a loss...
-
Will he have a receipt though? Prove he’s not handling in stolen goods (hahahahahaha!)
-
Ah cool. Enjoy
-
What a shame - lovely looking thing
-
Well I was hoping to straight swap - when I was selling the white bb1100s everyone wanted the sunburst one!!! And we don’t use the ‘D’ word in this house...
-
I’m more of a goose. I’ve ejected and hit the canopy...
-
I’ve been called worse...
-
I’m much worse when I’m not in a band. I need to scrap my eBay, Facebook and basschat accounts though - it’s like being in the sweet shop all the time. Once the bb1100s is gone, I’m done buying and selling. Self imposed ban.

Got this on my recent “buy everything Yamaha” spree. It’s lovely, the second time I’ve had one. but without a pedalboard I keep forgetting to take it, and I’m not using it much. the guitarist also uses lots of weird and wonderful sounds - I don’t want to get into competition. I’ve just obtained the foot switch for my amp where I can bypass the eq or add the shape control in and out so that’s enough for me. £60 posted in UK. -
£400 plus postage. Would like this gone soon as I’ve got to feed the credit card - got other stuff to buy (none bass related, unfortunately) -
No way! Great bass -
That’s very cool, looks to be in great condition too
-
Love these...had one on loan for a week or so and was gutted to hand it back. -
Make up for it by buying my Sunburst 1100s 😉
-
A BB1024x in Caramel Brown - same as @mikeycrikey has. seen on the left here. From the launch catalog ⬆️ Ive changed the knobs out
-
So the 1024x has arrived and I would like to see this bass in the hands of someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. £450 but will entertain near offers.

Think it’s called an attitude standard. it’s a p bass/bb200 in the shape of a Billy Sheehan model. It’s pretty lovely in so many ways - I was watching it, but a certain 1024x has stated I’m not to own any more basses. An old band of mine a regular support act for mini tours of the south who’s bass player had one. A well made P Bass with a twist.
-
Erm.
-
I’d put a wanted ad up for a very specific Yamaha. @Funkmeister got in touch and brought his bass over. What a true gentleman, lovely bloke - and delivered a great bass I very much look forward to playing more. deal in confidence, I’m not sure he’s much of a regular on here but deffo knows his stuff - sounded like a great player too when he had a much about on my Jazz. anyhow - thanks Alan, lovely to meet you.

Hiya @HarleyQuinn when these first came to market, there was an issue where the battery drained instantly. An entire batch had the jack plugs with the wires in the wrong place. This doesn’t sound like the issue tbh might be worth a trip to a luthier and see if a wire has come off the preamp? hope you get it sorted - very decent basses.
-
Right - hear me out. I’m really not sure about this - but im trying to be a good boy. EDIT - HAS TO GO £400 PLUS POSTAGE IN THE UK. I keep listening back to rehearsals and I’m preferring passive basses in the mix (I’ve done this before - always end up back at passive) This bass does passive - even has a tone pot. It also works as a passive bass if the battery goes. I recently sold another bb1100s as I didn’t need two, but then I’ve been using this passive since. I’m in discussions about a 1024x and something’s got to give. It’s under 9lbs (8.8 if I remember correctly) it has some marks - nothing like the other 1100s had, some minor play wear - and a bit of oxidisation on the pole pieces, not bad for 32 years old. No case - just a slip cover - I’d prefer to ship it neck off, but could ship as is if you’re completely happy with the associated risks. £15 in UK or collect in M27 Manchester. This really is a tentative post. Not sure i’ll keep it going. But it’s a lovely bass and I want it used - if passive suits the band then that’s where I’m going with it. The sticker is easy to remove and I have a mock-up pickguard which could come with it - gig.ink have the final fit template on file so you could get one made up for it easily if you like them.

Got this 2/3 months ago via eBay. It’s got a split in the headstock area - not fatal but needs glueing and clamping. the body has various knocks and dings and is a sort of Torino red colour. previous owner has added a thumb rest which is again in need of throwing in a bin. id planned to refinish this in a fender shoreline gold or something but haven’t had the time, and as I bought this a BB300 turned up which is what I wanted as I started on. It’s a Taiwanese 1987 model, and sports standard sized P pickups so is rife for modding. heres the absolute selling point (apart from feeling lovely) it weighs 7.7lbs. it had two damaged tuners and as they’re notoriously difficult to source - it’s fortunate I have a draw full of BB parts and put it back to factory. The knobs - I can put some chrome or black ones on for you, and i’ll Put some new ish roto nickels on it. i will ship it, neck off. Will cost about £15 in UK. its too nice to write off, but I haven’t the time to sort it. It’s in Manchester m27 and it deserves to be someone’s P bass (and for anyone with back troubles 😉) -
That’s nice - I’m holding out for a caramel 1024x tempting though - looks in great condition.
